The assurance in Christ's atonement lies in the belief that He bore our sins and offers forgiveness.
The assurance provided by Christ's atonement is foundational for believers, rooted in the understanding that Jesus took upon Himself the sins of His people (1 Peter 2:24). This means that all wrongdoing, including those that remain hidden in the heart, have been fully paid for. Believers can rest in the knowledge that their guilt has been removed, as stated in Romans 8:1, 'There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.' This assurance brings peace and security to the believer, as they place their trust in the efficacy of Christ's sacrifice for their complete redemption.
