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

Answered in 2 sources

Christ's suffering is affirmed by Scripture as a necessity for our salvation, requiring his death for the glory of God and the good of His people.

The doctrine of Christ's suffering is central to the Christian faith and is deeply rooted in biblical revelation. Paul, writing in Acts 17:3, emphasizes that Christ 'must needs have suffered'—indicating that such suffering was a divine necessity for fulfilling God's plan of salvation. This concept is interconnected with God's glory and justice; Christ's suffering serves to satisfy the divine requirements for atonement (John 8:29). His suffering is not arbitrary but purposeful—paving the way for the redemption of God's chosen people, as illustrated in Romans 8:32-34, where we find that Christ's suffering, death, and resurrection are intertwined with His role as our intercessor.
