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

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is recognized as the Lamb of God through prophetic fulfillment and the witness of Scripture, particularly His sacrificial death.

The identification of Jesus as the Lamb of God is deeply rooted in biblical prophecy and biblical revelation. John the Baptist, who was the forerunner of Christ and even prophesied in the Old Testament, pointed to Jesus, saying, 'Behold the Lamb of God!' (John 1:29). This title connects Him to the sacrificial system established in the Old Testament where lambs were offered as atonement for sin. Furthermore, Scripture affirms this assertion throughout; for instance, in Romans 3:25, Paul declares that God presented Jesus as a propitiation for our sins. The miracles He performed, His fulfillment of prophecy, and ultimately His sacrificial death and resurrection confirm His identity as the Lamb of God, the perfect and necessary sacrifice for the sins of His people.
