How do we know Jesus' sacrifice was accepted by God?

Answered in 4 sources

Jesus' sacrifice was accepted by God because He fulfilled all justice required for sin, evidenced by His resurrection.

Christ's sacrifice was accepted by God as it completely satisfied divine justice. Psalm 31 reflects Jesus' faith in the Father, showcased in His final words, 'Father, into thy hand I commit my spirit.' These words indicate His confidence that He would be accepted because He was the perfect sacrifice. Upon fulfilling the requirements of the law and laying down His life, the Father raised Him from the dead, confirming His acceptance and sealing the promise of redemption for all who trust in Him. Therefore, believers can be assured that they are accepted in the beloved, not based on their merit but on Christ's righteousness.
