How do we know that substitution is a biblical doctrine?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine of substitution is exemplified in the sacrifice of Jesus, who died in place of sinners as prophesied by Caiaphas.

The doctrine of substitution is rooted in scripture and illustrated in the events surrounding Jesus' trial and crucifixion. Caiaphas articulated the idea that one man should die for the people (John 11:50), which foreshadowed Christ's sacrifice for sinners. This exemplifies the deeper theological truth that Jesus took upon Himself the sin of His people, effectively standing in their place to satisfy divine justice. The New Testament affirms this understanding in passages such as Isaiah 53:5, which speaks of the suffering servant bearing our iniquities, and 2 Corinthians 5:21, which declares that Christ became sin for us.
