How do we know Christ's work on the cross truly saves sinners?
Answered in 1 source
Christ’s work on the cross is sufficient because it was a definitive substitutionary atonement for his people.
The assertion that Christ's work truly saves sinners is reinforced through Hebrews 2:9, which states that Jesus tasted death for every man, specifically for those designated as heirs of salvation. This emphasizes the reality of substitutionary atonement; while some may misinterpret 'every man' to mean all individuals without exception, the context clarifies that it refers to his people. The effectiveness of Christ's sacrifice is rooted in the unbroken union between his divine and human natures, providing a basis for a successful atonement that achieves its intended purpose.
