How do we know that the blood of Christ is sufficient for atonement?

Answered in 1 source

The blood of Christ is sufficient for atonement because it was offered once for all and is effectual in purging the conscience from sin.

According to Hebrews 9:11-14, Christ's blood surpasses the sacrifices of the Old Testament, which were temporary and merely ceremonial. Christ, as the perfect high priest, entered the holy place with His own blood, obtaining eternal redemption for believers. His blood is not just a type but the fulfillment of God's promise of atonement. It cleanses from sin and results in a new covenant relationship with God, demonstrating its sufficiency and transformative power. This underpins the Reformed understanding that salvation is entirely through Christ's sacrificial work, making a clear distinction between His once-for-all sacrifice and the ongoing sacrifices of the Old Covenant.
