We know Jesus is our Savior because He was appointed as such before His birth and came to save His people from their sins.
The assurance that Jesus is our Savior rests on His identity and mission. The angel declared in Matthew 1:21, 'For He will save His people from their sins.' This indicates that His purpose was established even before His conception, affirming His role as Savior. Furthermore, His fulfillment of the law and His sacrificial death played a crucial role in His redemptive work. Jesus' ability to save is rooted in His righteous life, His payment for sin, and the promise that He shall save all who trust in Him, affirming that He is indeed the Savior of all who believe.
