How do we know Jesus' work of recovery is effective?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' effectiveness in recovery is affirmed by His triumph over sin and death, as seen in 1 Peter 1:3.

The effectiveness of Jesus’ work in recovering what was lost is vividly illustrated in the story of David and the Amalekites. Just as David was able to recover all that was taken from him (1 Samuel 30:18), Christ has accomplished the full recovery of His people through His atoning work on the cross. In 1 Peter 1:3, we see that God has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, ensuring that all believers are reconciled and restored to relationship with Him. This recovery is complete, lacking nothing, as believers are viewed as trophies of His grace and beneficiaries of His redemptive power. Therefore, we can have confidence that His work on Calvary was sufficient to restore us fully.
