How do we know Jesus's suffering was sufficient for our salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus's suffering was sufficient as it fulfilled God's wrath against sin, ensuring full atonement for the elect.

We recognize the sufficiency of Jesus's suffering primarily through scripture's testimony regarding his purpose and the mechanism of salvation. As Paul states in 1 Peter 2:24, 'Who his own self bear our sins in his own body on the tree,' this indicates that Jesus's suffering was a comprehensive bearing of our sin debt. He fully identified with our sinfulness, suffering the forsakenness that we deserved, bearing God's wrath in a manner that satisfied divine justice. The completeness of his sacrifice is also affirmed by His resurrection, which is God’s declaration of acceptance of Christ’s atonement on behalf of sinners, confirming that He has reconciled believers to Himself once and for all.
