How do we know Christ's atonement is effective?

Answered in 31 sources

Christ's atonement is effective as evidenced by His resurrection, which indicates that God accepted His sacrifice for our sins and was satisfied with the payment made.

The resurrection of Christ serves as the ultimate proof that His atonement was accepted by God the Father. When God 'brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus,' it signified that the justice of God had been satisfied. This event confirms that Christ's sacrifice effectively turns away God's wrath, enabling reconciliation between God and His elect. The resurrection is not simply an act of divine power, but a judicial declaration that our sins have been atoned for, thereby restoring our standing with God.
