How do we know that Christ's sacrifice was effective for our salvation?
Answered in 2 sources
We know Christ's sacrifice was effective because it was ordained by God before the world began and is confirmed through the scriptures.
The effectiveness of Christ's sacrifice for salvation is rooted in God's sovereign plan, as highlighted in 1 Peter 1:20 where it states that He was 'foreordained before the foundation of the world.' This signifies that God’s plan for redemption was set in motion long before creation, ensuring that Christ’s sacrifice was not a reaction to sin but rather a predetermined act of grace. Additionally, passages like Hebrews 9:12 affirm that Christ obtained eternal redemption for us through His blood, assuring believers of the sufficiency and completeness of His atoning work.
