How do we know Christ's death removed the separation from God?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's death tore the veil from top to bottom, symbolizing that access to God was granted to all believers, removing the barrier of sin.

The tearing of the veil at Christ's death signified a monumental shift in the relationship between God and humanity. This event, noted in Matthew 27:51, took place at the moment Jesus declared, "It is finished," illustrating that His sacrifice was sufficient for total atonement. The veil, which had once limited access to God's presence, was miraculously torn from top to bottom—an act initiated by God, emphasizing that salvation is purely His work. This removal of the veil communicates that all believers can now approach God with confidence, as the barrier of sin has been permanently removed through the blood of Christ.
