How do we know the concept of atonement is true?

Answered in 1 source

The truth of atonement is affirmed through the consistent biblical narrative and the fulfillment of Old Testament types in Christ.

Atonement is a central theme throughout Scripture, as evidenced by its establishment in the Old Testament sacrificial system, notably during the Day of Atonement described in Leviticus 16. The high priest's act of sprinkling blood on the mercy seat symbolizes the need for a perfect sacrifice to cover sin. This concept reaches its culmination in the New Testament, where Jesus Christ is presented as the fulfillment of these sacrifices. Romans 3:25 declares Christ as our propitiation, the one who satisfies God's wrath against sin. The consistency of God's plan for redemption from Genesis to Revelation confirms the truth of atonement, culminating in Christ's sacrificial death, which perfectly addresses the demands of justice and extends mercy to His people.
