How do we know that Christ's work on the cross redeems us?

The scripture makes it clear that Jesus’ death provides the covering and forgiveness of our sins. The phrase 'It is finished' signifies that Christ satisfied the demands of the law and fulfilled righteousness on behalf of His people. The cross is not merely an act of love but a legal transaction that met the justice of God. The shed blood of Jesus cleanses us from unrighteousness and serves as the basis for our acceptance before a holy God. As we look at passages like Romans 3:25, we see that God set Christ forth as a propitiation through faith in His blood.
