How do we know that Christ's sacrifice justifies us?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's sacrifice justifies us because it fulfills God's requirement for holiness, allowing our sins to be atoned for.

We know that Christ's sacrifice justifies us through the fulfillment of God's law and His perfect holiness. Romans 3:25 says that God set forth Christ as a propitiation for our sins. Through His death, Christ takes the penalty that we rightfully deserve, removing our sins and allowing us to be declared ‘not guilty’ in God's sight. This act of justification is grounded in Christ's righteousness, not our own. It assures us that by believing in Him, we can claim His perfect life as our own, giving us the standing needed to be accepted by God. Thus, justification comes solely from faith in Christ’s sufficiency to meet God's holy requirements.
