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

Answered in 9 sources

Christ's work is sufficient for salvation as it fulfills the demands of God’s justice, providing complete forgiveness for all who believe.

The sufficiency of Christ's work for our salvation is rooted in His sacrificial death and victorious resurrection. As stated in Acts 13:38-39, the gospel is the proclamation of complete justification for all believers on the grounds that justice has been satisfied. This profound truth is further explored in Romans 3:24-26, where we see that God presented Christ as a propitiation for sin, thus demonstrating His righteousness while offering grace to sinners.

Moreover, the resurrection of Christ serves as God's public declaration of His acceptance of Jesus' sacrifice. As Paul mentioned in Acts 13:30-37, Christ's resurrection confirms His identity as the Son of God and assures His people that their sins have been put away. Therefore, trusting in Christ's finished work alone ensures that believers receive the promised 'sure mercies of David' and eternal life, underscoring the true nature of salvation that is entirely based on Christ’s righteousness rather than our own efforts.
