How does one behold the Lamb of God?

Answered in 1 source

One beholds the Lamb of God by having their eyes opened to understand and believe in Christ's saving work.

To behold the Lamb of God involves both an act of the will and a divine encounter. In John 1:33, John the Baptist relayed that his knowledge of Christ wasn't based on human understanding but revealed by God. This illustrates the necessity of divine revelation—the Holy Spirit must open our hearts to recognize and believe in Christ for who He truly is. This beholding is an acknowledgment of our sinfulness and complete reliance on Christ's atoning sacrifice. It is a heartfelt response to the grace of God, which, when we genuinely behold the Lamb, we are led to worship, trust, and obey Him. This engaging experience with Christ transforms us and continuously draws us closer to Him, deepening our reliance on His grace.
