How do we know that Christ's work is sufficient for our justification?

Answered in 1 source

We know Christ's work is sufficient for justification because Scripture states it is finished and that we are justified through faith in Him alone.

The sufficiency of Christ's work for our justification is foundational in Reformed theology. In Galatians 2:16, Paul states, 'Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ.' This confirms that our justification is through faith alone, not through our works. Furthermore, Christ's death on the cross is affirmed to be the perfect sacrifice that fulfilled the law and satisfied divine justice. Believers are declared righteous based on His imputed righteousness, which is a central tenet of the gospel of grace. Therefore, any attempt to seek justification through the law is regarded as a denial of the sufficiency of Christ's finished work.
