What does the Bible say about Christ as our sin-bearer?

The Bible teaches that Christ took upon Himself the sins of His people, bearing them in His body on the cross (1 Peter 2:24). This act fulfilled the Old Testament sacrificial system where goats were used as sin offerings. Just as a high priest would transfer the people's sins to a scapegoat and send it away, Christ bore our sins completely, ensuring they would never be seen or remembered again (Psalm 103:12). His sacrifice signifies the perfect substitution for sinners, bringing about the redemption and holiness of all whom the Father has chosen.
