How do we know Christ's atoning work is sufficient?
Answered in 4 sources
Christ's atoning work is sufficient because He is the perfect Lamb of God, whose sacrifice fulfills the requirements of God's justice, as clearly articulated in Scripture.
Christ's atoning work is declared sufficient through His role as the perfect Lamb of God, who bore the sin of humanity. In 2 Corinthians 5:21, it's shown that He was made sin for us who knew no sin, so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. His single sacrifice for sins, as noted in Hebrews 10:14, perfects forever those who are being sanctified. Thus, the sufficiency of His atonement is grounded in His divine and human natures, as He fully satisfied the wrath of God against sin with His own blood, ensuring our condemnation is lifted and our salvation is secured.
