How do we know Christ's atoning sacrifice is effective?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ's atoning sacrifice is effective because He satisfied all of God's justice on behalf of His people.

The effectiveness of Christ's atoning sacrifice is rooted in the doctrine of substitutionary atonement. As emphasized in the sermon, Christ, being both fully God and fully man, bore the sins of His people in His body on the cross, thus satisfying God's justice and fulfilling the requirement of the law. Every aspect of Christ's sacrificial death was in accordance with God's sovereign plan and purpose, ensuring that those for whom He died are justified and that the full penalty for their sins was paid. Biblical passages such as Romans 5:8 and 1 Peter 3:18 affirm that He suffered for the just and the unjust, indicating His death was purposeful and effective.
