How do we know that Christ's sacrifice was sufficient for atonement?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's sacrifice is sufficient for atonement as it fulfills and surpasses the Old Testament sacrifices.

Christ's sufficiency for atonement is established through His unique role as both the high priest and the sacrifice. Unlike Aaron, who had to atone for his own sins before representing the people, Jesus, being sinless, offered Himself without any personal need for atonement. His sacrificial death fully satisfied the demands of God’s justice and law, as affirmed in Hebrews where it is stated that He entered once for all into the holy places, securing an eternal redemption for His people. This perfect sacrifice was not only for the transgressions of Israel but also for all of God’s elect, fulfilling the promise of redemption laid out in the Old Covenant.
