How do we know the blood of Christ is effective for our salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

The effectiveness of Christ's blood for salvation is grounded in the fulfillment of the covenant's requirements and God's justice being satisfied.

The blood of Christ is effective for our salvation because it meets and fulfills all demands of God's justice. When Christ declared 'It is finished' upon His death, He confirmed that He had fully satisfied God's holy wrath and justice concerning the sins of His people. This pivotal act of obedience and sacrifice assured us that the debt owed due to sin was completely paid. As a result, God is bound by justice to save every redeemed sinner for whom atonement was made.

The sovereignty of God ensures that His promises are irrevocable; therefore, believers can trust that the blood of Christ secures their peace with God. Hebrews 9:22 underscores that without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins, implicitly affirming the central role of Christ’s blood in the believer's redemption. Consequently, knowing Christ’s blood cleanses us from sin allows believers full assurance of their salvation, affirming that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1).
