Why is Christ referred to as the Lamb of God in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is called the Lamb of God because He was the perfect sacrifice for the sins of mankind.

The title 'Lamb of God' signifies Jesus Christ's role as the ultimate sacrifice necessary for the redemption of God's people. In the context of Exodus, the lambs were daily sacrifices that served as types foreshadowing Christ's atoning work. Hebrews 10 also supports this by stating that the law was a shadow of good things to come, which culminates in the sacrificial death of Jesus. Through His blood, believers are redeemed and cleansed, becoming fit to meet God.
Scripture References: John 1:29, Hebrews 10:1-4
