How do we know Christ has the authority to save?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's authority to save is established in Matthew 11:27, where it reveals that all things are delivered to Him by the Father.

In Matthew 11:27, Jesus explicitly states, 'All things are delivered unto me of my Father.' This verse not only signifies His authority but also affirms His divine nature as the Son of God. As God incarnate, Christ possesses all power and authority to save. He holds the keys to life and death, and His willingness to save is evidenced by His revelation to those whom the Father has given Him. This emphasizes that the act of salvation is not only sovereignly initiated by God but is also effectively accomplished through Christ's divine authority and intent to redeem His people from their sins.
