How do we know that Jesus' sacrifice was sufficient for salvation?
Answered in 9 sources
We know Jesus' sacrifice was sufficient because the Scriptures affirm that He paid the price for all God's elect, and His resurrection confirms this.
The sufficiency of Jesus' sacrifice for salvation is evidenced profoundly in Scriptural declarations and Christ’s fulfillment of prophecies. Hebrews 10:14 tells us that by one offering, He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. This underscores that His sacrifice was complete and effective, unlike the repeated offerings under the Old Covenant. Moreover, His resurrection, as stated in Romans 4:25, is a demonstration of God’s acceptance of Christ’s atoning work. It also serves as the assurance that believers will be raised with Him, establishing a foundational aspect of sovereign grace theology – that salvation is unconditionally secured for God's chosen people.
