How do we know Christ’s sacrifice for sin is sufficient?

Answered in 2 sources

The sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice is confirmed in Scripture, where it declares that He was wounded for our transgressions and by His stripes we are healed.

Christ's sacrifice is described as fully sufficient for atonement because it meets the requirements of God's justice. Isaiah 53:5 asserts that He was wounded for our transgressions; this implies not only His suffering but also the legal transaction that enables forgiveness. The concept of substitutionary atonement is central to Reformed theology; it teaches that Christ bore the penalty of sin for His people. In God's economy of salvation, no further sacrifice is needed because Christ's one-time offering was perfect and acceptable to God, fully satisfying divine justice. His resurrection further affirms His victory over sin and death, completing the redemptive plan for those who believe.
