How do we know that Christ's death was effective?

Answered in 3 sources

Christ's death is effective for the elect because it secured their salvation and fully paid for their sins.

The effectiveness of Christ’s death can be found in the assurance it gives to believers. Romans 8:32 states, 'He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not also with Him freely give us all things?' This verse illustrates that if Christ's death was truly for the elect, then it guarantees their complete salvation and all spiritual benefits. Moreover, the statement in Hebrews 9:12 that Christ obtained eternal redemption demonstrates that His sacrifice fulfilled God's requirements for justice, providing complete atonement for those He died for. If He died for you, you are assured that your sins are put away, as declared in 1 John 3:5, 'He was manifested to take away our sins.' This certainty is essential for believers as they navigate their faith.
