How do we know Christ's atonement is sufficient for justification?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's atonement is sufficient because He bore our sins and fulfilled the law perfectly on our behalf.

The sufficiency of Christ's atonement for justification is rooted in the belief that He bore the sins of His people and satisfied God's justice. As 1 Peter 2:24 teaches, 'He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree.' This means that Christ not only paid the penalty for our sins but did so as our representative, taking our guilt upon Himself. By His righteous life and sacrificial death, Christ fulfilled all the requirements of God's law. Therefore, anyone who believes in Him is declared justified, because their sins have been transferred to Him, and His perfect righteousness is imputed to them. This doctrine assures believers that their justification is complete and irrevocable.
