How do we know the atonement is fulfilled in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The atonement is fulfilled in Christ as He is the ultimate sacrifice who reconciles us to God, as fulfilled by His death on the cross.

The atonement is fulfilled in Christ through His sacrificial death, which satisfies God's justice and reconciles humanity to Him. Leviticus 16 outlines the Day of Atonement, where Aaron, as high priest, would make sacrifices to atone for sin. This foreshadows Christ, who is our greater high priest, offering Himself as our sin offering and scapegoat (Hebrews 9). Romans 5 explains that through Christ we have received reconciliation, demonstrating how His death removes the enmity between God and humanity, fulfilling the requirements of the law and offering a pathway to divine fellowship.
