We know Christ's sacrifice is sufficient because He declared 'It is finished' (John 19:30), indicating that all that was needed for salvation has been accomplished.
The sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice is underscored when He proclaimed 'It is finished' on the cross (John 19:30). This declaration affirms that Christ fully satisfied the demands of divine justice required for the salvation of His people. The assurance of salvation rests in God's faithfulness to His promises, and since He cannot lie, we can trust that every requirement for our redemption has been met. Christ's mediatorial work guarantees that all those whom the Father has chosen will ultimately be saved, reinforcing the doctrine of unconditional election and the perseverance of the saints.
