How do we know that Christ's death paid for our sins?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible assures believers that Christ's death is the definitive payment for the sins of His people, securing their justification.
In Romans 5:8, Paul states, 'But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.' This sacrificial death is the cornerstone of the gospel, emphasizing that Christ's righteousness is imputed to believers. 2 Corinthians 5:21 explains that Christ 'knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.' This substitutionary atonement ensures that all for whom Christ died can never be charged with sin again (Romans 8:1). Therefore, believers can rest comfortably in the knowledge that Christ's sacrifice fully satisfied God's justice on their behalf.
