How do we know that Christ's work is sufficient for salvation?
Answered in 11 sources
We know Christ's work is sufficient because He declared, 'It is finished' on the cross, affirming that He has fully satisfied the requirements for our salvation.
The sufficiency of Christ's work for salvation is affirmed in His declaration on the cross, 'It is finished' (John 19:30). This signifies that He has accomplished everything necessary for the redemption of His people—particularly through His life, death, and resurrection. His sacrifice covers our sins entirely and secures our justification before God. As Romans 3:25 explains, God set forth Christ as a propitiation to declare His righteousness, ensuring that our justification is grounded solely on His finished work rather than any merit of our own.
