How do we know Christ's sacrifice is sufficient for atonement?

Answered in 2 sources

We know Christ's sacrifice is sufficient because it perfectly fulfills the law's requirements and completely reconciles us to God.

Christ's sacrifice is sufficient for atonement because it is not a shadow like the Old Testament sacrifices, but the reality that those shadows pointed to. Hebrews 10:14 states that by one offering, He has perfected forever those who are sanctified. This indicates that His sacrifice brings a complete and eternal reconciliation to God, unlike the repeated sacrifices of bulls and goats, which could never take away sins (Hebrews 10:4). The perfect life of Christ, symbolized by the meat offering, the total self-offering of Christ, and the completeness of His work culminate in the assurance that His atonement is entirely sufficient.
