How do we know Jesus' sacrifice was sufficient for our sins?
Answered in 10 sources
The sufficiency of Jesus' sacrifice is demonstrated in Scripture, particularly through his identity as sinless and the righteousness we gain through him.
Jesus Christ, who knew no sin, was made to be sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21), highlighting the weight of His sacrifice on our behalf. This sacrificial act fulfills the requirement of justice for sin and paves the way for our righteousness before God. We see this echoed throughout Scripture, including in Isaiah 53, which describes the suffering servant who bears our transgressions. The grace bestowed upon believers also affirms that we are made righteous, not through our actions but through Christ's completed work, emphasizing that His sacrifice is totally sufficient to cover our sins.
