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

Answered in 3 sources

Christ's sacrifice is sufficient because He was perfect, holy, and willingly offered Himself for the sins of His people.

The sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice is established through His portrayal in the Old Testament sacrificial system, particularly in the description of the burnt offering in Leviticus 1. God demanded a male without blemish, which signifies Christ's sinless nature and His perfect obedience to the law. In Isaiah 53:6, it is stated that the Lord laid on Him the iniquity of us all—indicating that He bore the sins of His people. Furthermore, the New Testament confirms that this sacrifice was effective and sufficient, as Jesus declared from the cross, 'It is finished,' meaning He fully satisfied divine justice. Through His offering, He obtained eternal redemption for His people, as detailed in Hebrews 9:12.
