How do we know the sacrifice of Jesus is sufficient for atonement?

Answered in 1 source

The sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice is affirmed in Scripture, highlighting His role as the complete sin-atoning sacrifice.

The doctrine of Christ being our sufficient sacrifice is rooted in various biblical references, particularly in Hebrews, where He is portrayed as the ultimate sin-offering. Hebrews 13:12 emphasizes that Jesus suffered outside the gate to sanctify His people with His own blood, demonstrating that His sacrifice meets all the requirements of divine justice. Furthermore, the historical context of sacrifices in the Old Testament serves as a type fulfilling God's requirements. By fully embodying the wrath of God for sin on our behalf, Christ provides an all-encompassing atonement that restores our relationship with God.
