How do we know that Christ's sacrifice provides our salvation?
Answered in 1 source
Christ's sacrifice is affirmed by Scripture, confirming that His death on the cross was sufficient to secure our redemption once and for all.
The assurance that Christ's sacrifice provides salvation is found in the teachings of the New Testament. Specifically, Hebrews 9:26 states, 'Now once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.' This indicates that His singular and definitive act on the cross addressed the sin problem once and for all. The concept of 'obtaining redemption' signifies that salvation is not just an offer but a completed act that was successful for all those whom He represented. Therefore, our confidence rests not on our works but solely on Christ’s finished work.
