How do we know that Jesus' death brings us acceptance with God?
Answered in 1 source
Jesus' sacrificial death and its substitutionary nature provide the basis for our acceptance with God, as only His righteousness justifies us (2 Corinthians 5:21).
The sacrificial death of Jesus Christ is central to the doctrine of justification in the Reformed tradition. It is through His blood that we are reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:21 states that God made Christ, who knew no sin, to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. This imputed righteousness is the foundation of our acceptance before God, as He does not see our imperfections but rather the perfect righteousness of Christ. Thus, believers can come boldly to the throne of grace, assured of their acceptance due to Christ's atoning work.
