How do we know that Christ's sacrifice was sufficient?
Answered in 19 sources
Christ's sacrifice is sufficient because it fully accomplished the redemption of His people, as evidenced by His resurrection, which confirms that the sacrifice was accepted by God.
The sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice is evidenced through Scripture and its fulfillment. In Luke 24:46, it states that it was necessary for Christ to suffer and rise from the dead, indicating the completeness of His work. His resurrection from the dead is the validation that His sacrifice was entirely accepted by God the Father. When Christ declared from the cross, 'It is finished,' it signified the completion of the redemptive work required for the justification of His people. Additionally, the notion that He cannot lose any of His sheep reinforces that His sacrifice was wholly sufficient for those for whom He died.
