How do we know that the sacrifice of Christ is effectual?
Answered in 1 source
The effectiveness of Christ's sacrifice is assured by its divine design, fulfilling the demands of God's holiness and serving as the ultimate atonement for sin.
Christ's sacrifice is effectual because He is both the high priest and the sacrificial lamb, uniquely qualified to mediate for His people. In Hebrews 9:26, we read that Christ appeared to put away sin by His one sacrifice. Unlike the sacrifices of the Old Testament which were ineffectual, His sacrifice fully satisfies God's justice and leads to eternal redemption (Hebrews 10:12). This is foundational in understanding the sovereign grace of God, which assures that all for whom Christ died will be saved, as they are the recipients of His perfect atonement.
