How do we know that Christ's death is effective for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's death is effective for salvation because He died in accordance with God's eternal purpose, successfully atoning for the sins of the elect.

We can know that Christ's death is effective for salvation by understanding it as God's eternal purpose manifested through the cross. In 1 Peter 2:24, we read that 'He bore our sins in His own body on the tree,' demonstrating the efficacy of His sacrifice. The cross symbolizes Christ's substitution, where our sins were placed upon Him, and He bore the full punishment, allowing God to be both just and the justifier of those who believe (Romans 3:26). It is through this accomplished work that Christ secured salvation for all whom He died for, signifying that He did not merely make salvation possible, but guaranteed it.
