How do we know that the doctrine of atonement by Christ's blood is true?

Answered in 1 source

The truth of the atonement is evidenced by Scriptural authority and the fulfillment of prophecies regarding Christ's sacrifice.

The doctrine of atonement through Christ's blood is established firmly in Scripture and affirmed by the historical fulfillment of prophecies concerning the Messiah. From Genesis through Revelation, the sacrificial system illustrates that blood was required for atonement (Leviticus 17:11; Hebrews 9:22). These Old Testament sacrifices foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who is heralded as the 'Lamb slain from the foundation of the world' (Revelation 13:8).

The New Testament explicitly declares that Jesus' blood is the means by which believers are justified and reconciled to God (Romans 5:9-10). Moreover, the resurrection of Christ serves as divine validation of His atoning work, demonstrating that His sacrifice was accepted by the Father. In light of these scriptural affirmations and historical fulfillments, we can confidently assert that the doctrine of atonement by Christ's blood is not only true but central to the faith of believers.
