How do we know that Jesus accomplished the work of salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus' fulfillment of the law and His resurrection confirm that He perfectly accomplished salvation for sinners.

The assurance that Jesus accomplished the work of salvation is rooted in both His perfect obedience to the law and His resurrection from the dead. Throughout His life, Christ met every requirement of God's law flawlessly, as stated in Matthew 3:15, where He fulfilled all righteousness. This perfection is crucial because only the spotless Lamb of God could bear the sins of many. Additionally, the resurrection serves as the divine affirmation of His successful sacrifice. If there had been any imperfection or sin in His life or mission, He would not have been raised to life. Therefore, His rising from the dead is a testament that God's justice has been satisfied and that He has indeed accomplished the work of salvation.
