How do we know Christ's mission was successful?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ's mission was deemed successful as He faithfully accomplished the will of the Father, evidenced by His resurrection and the salvation of His people.

The success of Christ's mission is anchored in His obedience to the will of the Father. Throughout the gospels, Jesus states that He came to fulfill the will of His Father, and this culminated in His sacrificial death on the cross and subsequent resurrection. Specifically, John 6:39 states that Christ will lose none of those given to Him by the Father, ensuring that all His chosen are redeemed. His resurrection serves as a guarantee of this triumph over sin and death.

Furthermore, the scriptures testify to the efficacy of His sacrifice, as He is described as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29). The divine approval of His mission is evident in the Father's declaration during Jesus' baptism and transfiguration, where He states, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 3:17, 17:5). Thus, the successful completion of His redemptive work is not only historical but also deeply theological, showing that through His actions, He secured salvation for His people.
