What does the Bible say about Jesus bearing our sins?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible teaches that Jesus bore the sins of humanity, suffering punishment for our transgressions on the cross.
According to Scripture, Jesus is described as the sin-bearer who took upon Himself the guilt and punishment for our sins. Isaiah 53:5 states, 'He was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.' This profound truth highlights Christ's role in atonement, as He endured the wrath of God that we, as sinners, rightfully deserved. His suffering was not merely a tragic outcome but a judicial punishment, fulfilling God's redemptive plan for His elect.
