How do we know that Jesus is the true Lamb of God?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus' identification as the Lamb of God is affirmed through His sinless life and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies regarding the sacrificial system.

The evidence of Jesus being the true Lamb of God lies in both His sinless nature and the prophetic fulfillment of the Scriptures. John the Baptist, being a descendant of priests, understood the significance of the lamb as a perfect sacrifice under the Mosaic Law. In Exodus 12, the lamb had to be without blemish, reflecting the purity of Jesus. Furthermore, Scripture affirms that Jesus was foreordained as the Lamb even before the foundation of the world (1 Peter 1:20), and His sacrifice, made once and for all, establishes Him as the ultimate sin-bearer (Hebrews 9:26). Hence, through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus definitively fulfills the role of the Lamb of God.
