What does the Bible say about Christ suffering for our sins?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible illustrates Christ's suffering as a necessary act of atonement for our sins, showcasing His love and sacrifice.

Scripture depicts Christ's suffering in profound ways, particularly in Psalms 35, where we see Him enduring reproach and injustice for our sins. As Robert Hawker notes, this Psalm serves as a badge of Christ's love, highlighting that He bore all indignities and the weight of our transgressions. In His prayerful pleadings, we witness the depth of His suffering, which was not only under the cruelty of men but also under the weight of God’s judgment for our sins. This illustration reveals how Jesus, as our surety, took upon Himself that which we deserved, emphasizing the incomprehensible love He has for His people and His commitment to fulfilling God's redemptive plan.
