How do we know the atonement of Christ is sufficient?

Answered in 1 source

The atonement is sufficient because God declared Himself fully satisfied with the sacrifice of Christ, as reflected in Scripture.

The sufficiency of Christ's atonement is highlighted through various scriptural passages that emphasize God's complete satisfaction with the sacrifice of Jesus. In Isaiah 53:11, it states that God 'shall see the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied.' This illustrates that the atonement was not merely adequate but perfect and complete. Additionally, in Ephesians 5:25-27, it affirms that Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it to sanctify and cleanse it, presenting it 'not having spot or wrinkle.' Thus, the sufficiency of the atonement is affirmed not only in God’s satisfaction but also in the fullness of redemption offered to believers.
