Answered in 3 sources
The effectiveness of Christ's redemptive work is affirmed through Scripture, showing that He satisfied the demands of the law and redeemed His elect.
Christ's redemptive work is deeply rooted in the biblical narrative, illustrating how He satisfied the demands of a broken law through His death on the cross. As the perfect substitute, Christ bore the sins of His elect, ensuring that their sin debt is fully paid (Romans 5:8). This is not only about legal justification but also encompasses the transformative aspect where believers are made new creatures in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). The resurrection of Jesus seals the efficacy of His work, guaranteeing that those who are in Him are truly delivered from the curse of sin.
