How do we know that Jesus was cut off for our sins?
Answered in 1 source
The prophecies in Isaiah and the teachings of the New Testament confirm that Jesus was cut off as a substitute for His people's sins.
Isaiah 53:8 states that 'for the transgression of my people was he stricken,' indicating that the Messiah would be cut off not for His own wrongdoings but for those of His people. This is a profound revelation of God's redemptive plan, fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Additionally, Daniel 9:26 prophecies that 'Messiah shall be cut off, but not for himself,' underscoring that Jesus' death was a divine necessity for our salvation. The apostle Paul further asserts in Romans 4:25 that Jesus 'was delivered for our offenses,' thus solidifying the truth that His sacrificial death was for the justification of those who believe in Him.
