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

Answered in 93 sources

The sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice is affirmed in Scripture, specifically in Hebrews 10, which compares His offering to the ineffective sacrifices of the Levitical priests.

Hebrews 10:4 clearly states that it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins, highlighting the inadequacy of the Old Covenant sacrifices. In contrast, Jesus' offering is described as 'one sacrifice for sins forever,' indicating that His atonement is effective and permanent. This is supported by the fact that He sat down at the right hand of God after His sacrifice, signifying the completion of His redemptive work. Moreover, the assurance comes from the belief in Christ as the promised Savior who fulfills the law and brings true salvation to those whom He sanctifies.
