How do we know that Christ fulfills the promises of salvation?
Answered in 1 source
Christ fulfills the promises of salvation by satisfying divine justice through His sacrifice and providing righteousness to His people.
The promises of salvation are uniquely fulfilled in the person and work of Jesus Christ. He did not merely overlook our sin; He satisfied the divine justice of God by bearing our sins in His body upon the cross. As it states in Psalm 72, God's justice is not bypassed but is fully realized in the righteous judgment of Christ. He exchanges our sin for His righteousness, ensuring that those who believe are justified before God. The assurance of salvation comes from the knowledge that Christ is both the King and our righteousness, making Him the central figure in God's redemptive plan.
