Why is Jesus' sacrifice significant for salvation?
Answered in 1 source
Jesus' sacrifice is significant because it was a perfect and complete payment for the sins of all His elect.
The significance of Jesus' sacrifice lies in its perfection and sufficiency to atone for the sins of God's elect, ensuring that all who believe in Him are fully redeemed. As the sermon highlights, Jesus was the sinless Lamb of God who bore the full weight of divine justice for the sins of His people (Zechariah 13:7). It is by His sacrifice that God's justice is satisfied while simultaneously pouring forth mercy upon those He has chosen to save. Without this pivotal sacrifice, there would be no hope for redemption. Hence, belief in Christ's atoning work is not merely about a doctrinal affirmation but an understanding that He alone is capable of reconciling sinners to a holy God—an essential truth within sovereign grace theology.
