How do we know salvation through Christ is effective?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation through Christ is shown to be effective because He bears the sins of His people and ensures that all whom He died for will come to faith.

Isaiah 53:11 states that the Messiah shall 'see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied.' This indicates that Christ's atonement is not merely an offer but is effective in securing the salvation of those for whom He died. His satisfaction implies a definitive accomplishment of justice for the chosen people. God's purposes in election and redemption ensure that no true believer is left out, thereby emphasizing that Christ did not die in vain. Instead, His sacrificial death guarantees that His elect will be effectually called and justified by faith in Him, proving the power and efficacy of His work.
