How do we know the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ is true?

Answered in 2 sources

The truth of Christ's substitutionary sacrifice is supported by prophetic foreshadowing in the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New Testament through His death and resurrection.

The substitutionary nature of Christ's sacrifice is rooted in the overarching narrative of Scripture, where the Old Testament sacrifices serve as shadows of the ultimate sacrifice to come. Scriptures such as Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22 foreshadow Christ's suffering and death, illustrating the need for a substitute to bear the sins of the people. In the New Testament, the fulfillment of these prophecies is confirmed with the death of Christ on the cross, proclaiming that He bore our sins in His body. This foundation assures believers that His sacrifice was not only true but essential for our salvation, as articulated in Romans 3:25, where it speaks of Christ as a propitiation for our sins.
