How do we know Jesus' suffering on the cross was sufficient for our salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus declared 'It is finished' at the cross, signifying that His suffering and work for our redemption were complete and sufficient.

The phrase 'It is finished' as stated in John 19:30 encapsulates the culmination of Jesus’ mission. This declaration signifies that all prophecies and types in the Old Testament pointing to the coming Messiah were fulfilled. It confirms that His work on the cross completed the atonement for sins, eliminating the need for further sacrifices. Hebrews 9:26 affirmatively states that Christ was 'once offered to bear the sins of many.' His suffering was ordained by God, and every aspect of it was purposeful for our redemption. When one believes in Christ and His finished work, they are assured that their sins are atoned for, and they are justified before God through faith, not works. This foundational truth is critical in sovereign grace theology, wherein reliance on Christ alone is the means to salvation.
