God's acceptance of Jesus' sacrifice is confirmed by His resurrection, demonstrating divine approval.
God demonstrated His acceptance of Jesus' sacrifice through the resurrection. The powerful act of raising Christ from the dead signifies that God was satisfied with the atonement achieved on the cross. In Romans 4:25, it is stated that Jesus was delivered up for our offenses and raised for our justification. This resurrection is God’s declaration that His justice was satisfied, allowing sinners to be justified before Him. When Christ proclaimed 'It is finished' before His death, His resurrection confirmed that the work of redemption was complete and accepted by the Father, as reinforced in Galatians 2:20, where Paul emphasizes living by faith in the Son of God who loved us and gave Himself for us.
