What does the Bible say about the Son of God as our substitute?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the Son of God, Jesus Christ, is our substitute who takes our place in death and sin.

The theme of John's Gospel centers on the truth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and our substitute. This substitution is vividly illustrated in the sermon, particularly through the story of Sid Horn, who inherited a new identity through the sacrifice of another. Just as Horn's name was placed on a grave while he escaped, so too did Christ take our place on the cross, allowing us to become children of God. In John 1:12, it states, 'But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God.' Furthermore, the concept of substitution is essential for understanding the atonement and grace offered through Christ, as He fulfilled the law and took upon Himself the penalty for our sins.
