How do we know Christ's suffering is sufficient for our salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God was satisfied with the travail of Christ's soul, confirming that His suffering fully atoned for our sins.

The satisfaction of God in Christ's suffering confirms its sufficiency for our salvation. Isaiah 53:10 says that God looked upon the travail of His soul and was satisfied, affirming that the atonement made by Christ is fully adequate to cover the sins of His people. This means that no additional work or sorrow is needed on our part to earn God’s favor; Christ's suffering was completely sufficient. This understanding removes any basis for us to think we can contribute to our redemption. Instead, we rest entirely in the finished work of Christ, knowing it was God's ordained plan for salvation, fulfilling the law’s demands in totality.
