How do we know that God is appeased by the sacrifice of Christ?

The assurance of God's appeasement lies in the cross where Jesus' sacrifice fully satisfied God's wrath against sin. Hebrews 2:17 emphasizes Christ's role as our merciful high priest, making reconciliation for the sins of His people. When believers accept this truth, they realize that their sins are atoned for, and thus they experience peace with God. The gospel reveals this accomplished work, assuring believers that no additional works are needed for salvation, as Christ's sacrifice is sufficient.
