How do we know that Christ's death atoned for our sins?

Answered in 2 sources

We know Christ's death atoned for our sins because it fully satisfies divine justice and cancels our debt of sin.

The atonement achieved by Christ is central to Christian faith, as it demonstrates God’s profound love and justice. Romans 3:25 speaks of Jesus as a propitiation through faith in His blood, meaning His sacrifice appeases God's wrath against sin. Furthermore, in John 19:30, when Jesus declared, 'It is finished,' He indicated that His work of atonement was complete and that it suffices for the full payment of our sins. This cancellation of our debt is echoed in Colossians 2:14, which states that Christ took our sins and nailed them to the cross, eliminating our charges before God. Thus, the efficacy of Christ's atonement rests on His ability to satisfy the demands of divine justice, allowing believers to stand justified in the sight of God.
