How do we know that Jesus' sacrifice is sufficient?

Answered in 8 sources

Jesus' sacrifice is sufficient because He offered Himself once for all, unlike the repeated sacrifices of the Old Testament priests (Hebrews 10:12).

The sufficiency of Jesus' sacrifice is underscored in the book of Hebrews, particularly in Hebrews 10:12, which tells us that Christ offered Himself once for all, completing the work required for our salvation. In contrast, the sacrifices performed by the Levitical priests were never enough to take away sin, evidenced by their need to be made repeatedly. The once-for-all nature of Christ's sacrifice not only demonstrates its completeness but also fulfills God's requirement for atonement, satisfying His justice and securing salvation for His elect.
