How do we know Christ's death atones for sins past and present?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's death atones for all sins, including those under the first covenant, by fulfilling God's justice and mercy through His sacrifice.

Romans 3:25-26 explains that Christ was presented as a propitiation through faith in His blood for the remission of sins that were past, demonstrating God's righteousness. This means that Christ's death not only addressed sins committed after His sacrifice but also those of the Old Testament saints who looked forward to His coming. The righteousness of God is upheld because Christ's singular sacrifice serves to justly address all sins, past and future, ensuring that God is both righteous and the justifier of those who have faith in Jesus (Romans 3:26). Thus, the atonement made by Christ is part of God's eternal plan, instituted before the foundations of the world.
