How do we know the sacrifice of Christ is sufficient?

Answered in 3 sources

The sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice is affirmed in the New Testament, which states that He fulfilled the law and took away the requirements of the old covenant.

The New Testament confirms the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice through various scriptural affirmations, particularly in Hebrews. Verses like Hebrews 10:10 indicate that Christ's one offering for sin is enough to put away the requirements of the law. His blood was the ultimate sacrifice that fulfilled all that was required under the old covenant, thereby rendering all previous sacrifices obsolete.

Furthermore, when Christ declared 'It is finished' (John 19:30), He affirmed that the work of redemption was completed. This fulfilled the prophetic scriptures, particularly seen in the acknowledgment of Psalm 40:6-8 referenced in Hebrews, which speaks to God's intended plan through Christ. The entire sacrificial system was a foreshadowing of Christ’s own sacrifice, and through His death, He established a new and everlasting covenant, ensuring that all who believe in Him are justified and made right with God.
