How do we know the atonement is sufficient for our sins?

Answered in 1 source

The sufficiency of Christ's atonement is confirmed through Scripture and the fulfillment of God's justice on the cross.

The atonement that Christ achieved at the cross is sufficient for the sins of God's elect. As described in 1 John 3:5, Jesus was manifested to take away our sin, emphasizing that He bore the iniquity of His people. The Gospel asserts that the blood of Christ provides a complete payment for sin, and this is affirmed by various evidences, such as His resurrection and the tearing of the temple veil, which symbolize God's acceptance of His sacrifice. Ultimately, believers can rest assured that no sin remains on them if they are in Christ, as the penalty has been fully paid.
