How do we know Christ's work on the cross is sufficient for salvation?

Answered in 6 sources

Christ's work on the cross is sufficient because it fully satisfies God's justice and secures redemption for His chosen people.

The sufficiency of Christ's atonement is grounded in the belief that He died specifically for His sheep, as articulated in John 10:11, where Jesus states, 'I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.' This highlights that His sacrifice was not for all without exception, but for those who God has chosen. The doctrine of particular redemption assures us that His death fully atones for the sins of the elect, and thus, it's a finished work. Romans 8:1 reinforces this by declaring that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, indicating that His satisfaction of divine justice guarantees the salvation of His people.
