How do we know the doctrine of Christ's atonement is true?
Answered in 23 sources
The doctrine of Christ's atonement is verified through the prophetic writings of the Old Testament, which align with the New Testament's accounts of His death and resurrection.
The truth of Christ's atonement is supported by both Old and New Testament scriptures that outline God's redemptive plan. Isaiah's writings, especially in Isaiah 53, illustrate the essential purpose of Christ's suffering—that He was 'wounded for our transgressions' and bore the iniquities of His people. This is echoed in the New Testament where the Apostle Paul elaborates on the significance of Christ's death and resurrection as central to salvation. By exploring these prophetic scriptures and their fulfillment, believers can be confident in the truth and efficacy of Christ's sacrifice.
