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

Answered in 3 sources

The doctrine of Christ's redemption is affirmed in Scripture, emphasizing that His death was a payment made in full for His people’s sins.

We know the doctrine of Christ's redemption is true because it is consistently revealed throughout Scripture, particularly in passages like 1 Peter 1:18-19, which states that believers were redeemed not with corruptible things but with the precious blood of Christ. The sacrificial system of the Old Testament pointed to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ as the Lamb without blemish who would take away the sins of His people. This concept is essential in Reformed theology, where redemption is viewed as a completed act, not merely a potential opportunity. Furthermore, the character of God as holy, just, and merciful necessitated that sin be justly dealt with, which only Christ's perfect sacrifice could accomplish. This assurance of redemption is rooted in the unchangeable promises of God, which cannot fail.
