How do we know the doctrine of Christ's atoning death is true?

Answered in 1 source

We know this doctrine is true through Scripture and the witness of the early Church, which affirmed Christ's sacrifice as essential for salvation.

The truth of Christ's atoning death is affirmed in Scripture, particularly through the prophetic fulfillment found in the Old Testament, such as Isaiah 53, which describes the suffering servant. The early Church consistently preached the cross as central to their message of salvation, emphasizing that without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins (Hebrews 9:22). Historical affirmations from Church fathers further solidify this doctrine as a non-negotiable aspect of the Christian faith that has remained unchanged through the centuries.
