How do we know the remedy for sin is sufficient?

Answered in 1 source

The remedy for sin—the blood of Jesus—is sufficient because it cleanses from all sin, as affirmed in Scripture.

The sufficiency of the remedy for sin is firmly established in the belief that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin, not just from some or many. This is a cornerstone of sovereign grace theology. In 1 John 1:7, it states emphatically that 'the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin.' This means that regardless of the magnitude or number of sins, the grace available through Christ's sacrifice is more than adequate to heal the deepest wounds of the conscience. It reassures believers that no sin is beyond God's forgiveness. The concept defies human reasoning, as people often doubt whether their sins can be erased; however, God's promises reassure us of His boundless grace.
