How do we know that the atonement is effective for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The atonement is effective for salvation because it satisfies God's justice while providing forgiveness for the elect (Romans 8:1).

The effectiveness of the atonement for salvation is rooted in God's perfect justice and mercy. According to Romans 8:1, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, emphasizing that His sacrifice not only pays the penalty for sin but also secures the righteousness of the believer. Christ, being without sin, became the curse for us (Galatians 3:13), allowing us to be declared righteous through faith in Him. This is further backed by Scripture in 2 Corinthians 5:21, indicating that God made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Thus, the atonement is central to our justification and salvation.
