How does the suffering of Christ relate to our sins?

Answered in 1 source

The suffering of Christ directly relates to our sins as He bore the penalty we deserved, making atonement for them.

The relationship between Christ’s suffering and our sins is foundational in understanding the atonement. As delineated in Isaiah 53:5, Christ was wounded for our transgressions, indicating that He took upon Himself the very consequences of our sins. He endured the physical and spiritual suffering required to atone for wrongdoing, thereby appeasing God's justice. This act of bearing our sin was not superficial; it was deeply profound as Christ absorbed the wrath intended for us. Thus, believers can find comfort and certainty in the knowledge that their sins are pardoned through the suffering and sacrifice of Christ, who has made complete atonement for them.
