How do we know that Jesus' suffering was for our sins?

Answered in 4 sources

Jesus' suffering was specifically to bear our sins, as affirmed in Scripture, notably Isaiah 53:10, which states He was made an offering for sin.

Jesus' suffering was more than just physical; it was an agonizing experience where He anticipated the full weight of our sins being laid upon Him. This is expressed in Isaiah 53:10, 'yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief; when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin.' Jesus bore the collective sins of His people, enduring not just physical death but spiritual separation as He bore our punishment. In 1 Peter 2:24, it is written, 'who his own self bear our sins in his own body on the tree,' emphasizing that His suffering was indeed for our transgressions.
