How do we know Jesus Christ's atonement for sins is effective?
Answered in 1 source
The effectiveness of Christ's atonement is affirmed through His successful completion of the work He was sent to do, culminating in His resurrection.
We understand the effectiveness of Christ’s atonement through His fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan. As stated in Romans 5:11, 'We also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.' This means that the sacrifice of Christ was accepted by God, and through His resurrection, we are ensured of our justification. In Christ, God has made an end to our sin and offered reconciliation, making it clear that His sacrifice not only was required but was perfectly sufficient to satisfy divine justice, affirming our standing before God and granting us peace.
