How do we know Christ's mediation is effective?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ's mediation is effective because He has perfectly fulfilled all righteousness and satisfied God's justice on behalf of sinners.

The effectiveness of Christ's mediation rests in the nature of His sacrifice and His identity as both God and man. As the perfect mediator, He fully obeyed the law of God while also bearing the sins of humanity on the cross. Hebrews 10:14 states, 'For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified,' highlighting that His single sacrifice was sufficient to achieve eternal redemption. The narrative of salvation acknowledges that any attempt by humans to mediate or create peace with God is futile; only Christ, who is sinless, can mediate on our behalf. His resurrection further assures us that God accepted this payment for sin, confirming the triumph of His mediation.
