Why is Christ called our substitute?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is our substitute because He bore our sins and faced judgment in our place.

Christ is termed our substitute as He willingly took upon Himself the punishment that we deserved. Isaiah 53 teaches that He was cut off from the land of the living not for His own sins, but for the transgressions of His people. This substitution is central to the gospel; it underscores Christ’s role as the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep, ensuring that justice is served while also extending mercy to those who believe.
Scripture References: Isaiah 53:5-6, John 10:11
