What is the role of Jesus as our substitute?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus fulfills the role of our substitute by living a sinless life and dying for our sins.

Jesus serves as our substitute by fully identifying with humanity and taking our place both in life and death. He lived a perfect life in obedience to God's law, which is essential for our justification. His substitutionary death at Calvary bears the penalties of our sins, satisfying the demands of God's justice. This dual role of Jesus as both perfect life and sacrificial death is central to the doctrine of substitution, ensuring that all who trust in Him are accepted by God.
