Why is Christ called the 'Lamb of God'?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ is called the 'Lamb of God' because He takes away the sins of the world through His perfect sacrifice.

The term 'Lamb of God' signifies both the innocence and sacrificial nature of Christ. In the Old Testament, lambs were used as sacrifices for sin, representing the need for atonement. Christ's designation reflects His role as the ultimate fulfillment of these sacrifices; He is both the purest form of sacrifice and the means by which sin is atoned for. His death on the cross ties back to the Passover lamb, which was sacrificed to spare God's people from judgment. As declared by John the Baptist, Christ's sacrificial death would take away the sin of those who believe, underscoring His unique ability to cleanse and redeem individuals and His entire church (Romans 5:9).
