How do we know that Christ's atonement was effective?

Answered in 1 source

The effectiveness of Christ's atonement is seen in its particularity, where He redeems His people from their sins, ensuring that none will be lost.

The effectiveness of Christ's atonement is confirmed by the biblical portrayal of His death as a specific and accomplished act of redemption. In Matthew 1:21, it explicitly states that Jesus shall save His people from their sins, establishing that His atonement was not just an offer of salvation but a guarantee for those He came to redeem. The assurance that 'none of my sheep will be lost' as stated in John 10:28 further reinforces that Christ's death effectively reconciles His chosen people to God. This specific redemption upholds God's justice, as Christ bore the sins of those for whom He died, assuring that God's righteousness is satisfied perfectly through His sacrificial work.
