How do we know that Christ's death atoned for our sins?
Answered in 1 source
Christ's death is seen as the ultimate satisfaction of God's justice, making atonement for His people.
The atonement provided by Christ is not merely a reaction to sin but is deeply rooted in the character and purpose of God. As stated in the sermon, the atonement honors and magnifies God's righteousness, justice, and mercy. It signifies that God, in His infinite wisdom and love, provided His Son as a sacrifice for the chosen people, thereby satisfying divine justice while allowing Him to be both just and the justifier of those who have faith in Jesus. This theological perspective assures us that the character of God is not altered by the death of Christ; rather, it highlights His love and grace in saving sinners.
