How do we know that Christ's death was sufficient for salvation?

Answered in 8 sources

Christ's death is sufficient for salvation as it fully satisfied the demands of God's justice and redemption, as affirmed in the New Testament.

The sufficiency of Christ's death for salvation is rooted in the doctrine of propitiation, which is articulated in Romans 3:25, where Paul explains that God put forward Christ to be a propitiation by His blood for the remission of sins. This means that through Christ's one, perfect sacrifice, God's wrath against sin was fully satisfied. Importantly, Galatians 3:13 states that 'Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us,' emphasizing that He bore the weight of sin in our place.

Moreover, in explaining the Apostle Paul's perspective, it is evident that salvation is solely based on grace through faith in Jesus (Ephesians 2:8-9). Paul underscores that we cannot contribute to our redemption, as no amount of human effort can satisfy God's holy standards. This foundational truth indicates the remarkable scope of Christ's sacrifice, sufficient to redeem all of His elect, ensuring that those who believe in Him cannot be lost.
