How do we know that God accepted Christ's sacrifice?

Answered in 1 source

God accepted Christ's sacrifice as shown by the resurrection, which confirms that His atonement was sufficient for the sins of His people.

The acceptance of Christ's sacrifice is evidenced primarily by His resurrection from the dead. Romans 4:25 states that Jesus was raised for our justification, signifying that His payment for sin was accepted by the Father. The resurrection is God's declaration that the sacrifice was perfect and sufficient, removing the wrath due to sinners. The consuming fire that fell upon the sacrifice in Elijah's time is a visual representation of God's acceptance which was once again affirmed when God raised Jesus, signifying that there is no longer any condemnation for those who are in Him (Romans 8:1). This assurance not only confirms God's acceptance but also motivates believers to trust fully in Christ’s finished work.
