How do we know the doctrine of penal substitutionary atonement is true?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine is affirmed in Scripture, particularly in the sacrificial work of Christ articulated in Hebrews 10 (verses 10-14).

Penal substitutionary atonement asserts that Christ took on the penalty for sin on behalf of humanity. This doctrine is firmly grounded in Scripture, as seen in Hebrews 10:10-14, which proclaims that through the one offering of Christ, He has perfected forever those who are sanctified. This underscores that His death satisfied divine justice, thus enabling believers to be reconciled with God. The connection between God's sovereign will and Christ's obedience solidifies this doctrine's truth, as recognized by the affirmation of various passages from both the Old and New Testaments regarding the necessity of Christ's sacrifice.
