How do we know that Christ's sacrifice for sinners is sufficient?

Answered in 1 source

Christ’s death satisfies the law, ensuring that those He died for are set free eternally from condemnation.

The sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice is rooted in the doctrine of penal substitution, which asserts that Jesus bore the full weight of justice on our behalf. Barabbas’s understanding illustrates this truth clearly: he recognized that if Jesus died for him, the law’s demands would be fulfilled. The narrative emphasizes that Christ's sacrifice is definitive—whoever He died for is set free without any further requirement of penance or works. This is consistent with Reformed theology, which teaches that those for whom Christ died will inevitably be transformed by the Holy Spirit, leading to a life of faith and obedience. Scripture underscores that if Christ died for you, you will not face judgment again, reinforcing the permanence of His mercy and the certainty of salvation.
