How do we know that the blood of Christ atones for our sins?

The New Testament reinforces the significance of Christ's blood for our atonement. In John 6:53-54, Jesus states, 'Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.' This radical statement reveals that faith in His sacrificial death is integral to receiving eternal life. The atonement is not merely a historical event; it is a divine provision made available through faith. The shedding of Christ's blood fully satisfies God's justice and secures forgiveness for those chosen by Him. As believers, we partake of this grace by placing our faith in Christ’s accomplished work.
