How do we know that Christ's death guarantees salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's death guarantees salvation because it fulfills the demands of justice, ensuring that believers cannot die eternally.

The certainty of salvation through Christ's death is rooted in the doctrine of substitutionary atonement. In 1 Thessalonians 5:10, it states, 'who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.' This indicates that because Christ bore the wrath of God for the sins of His people, justice has been satisfied, and as a result, true believers cannot perish. Their sins are washed away, and they are declared righteous before God. Thus, the assurance of our salvation is dependent upon the sufficiency of Christ's atonement, which ensures that those for whom He died will be saved.
