How do we know Christ's sacrifice was sufficient for our sins?
Answered in 14 sources
We know Christ's sacrifice was sufficient because He was made a curse for us and fulfilled all righteousness required by God (Galatians 3:13-14).
The sufficiency of Christ’s sacrifice is demonstrated through His perfect obedience and the fulfillment of all that the law requires. Paul writes that ‘Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us' (Galatians 3:13). This indicates not only His willingness but also His complete success in bearing the penalty for our sin. In Galatians 3:14, he further emphasizes that the blessings promised to Abraham come through Jesus Christ, allowing believers to receive the Spirit through faith. The assurance of redemption is grounded in the completeness of Christ's work; there is no requirement left for us to fulfill, which establishes our confidence in His once-for-all sacrifice.
