How do we know Christ's sacrifice perfects us?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's sacrifice is sufficient to perfect us, as it was the once-for-all offering that dealt with sin completely.

The assurance of our perfection through Christ's sacrifice is rooted in the reality that His offering was singular and sufficient. Hebrews 7:27 explains that Christ, unlike the Levitical priests who had to offer sacrifices daily for their own sins and then for the people, sacrificed Himself once for all. This means that His sacrifice addressed the sins of His people entirely, and through this act, they are perfected forever. The idea that one offering can perfect is revolutionary; it highlights the adequacy of Christ's work and the futility of the law in achieving what only Christ could accomplish. Therefore, believers stand perfected before God through the righteousness of Christ, which is imputed to them.
