We know Christ's mission is true because He succeeded in saving His people as prophesied in Scripture.
The truth of Christ's mission to save sinners is substantiated by both Scripture and His fulfillment of prophecies. Throughout the Gospels, His actions and teachings consistently demonstrate His commitment to redeem lost sheep. Matthew 18:12-14 uses the parable of the lost sheep to illustrate this point: a shepherd who leaves ninety-nine to find one lost sheep epitomizes Christ’s unyielding pursuit of His elect. Furthermore, John 6:37 assures us that all whom the Father gives to Jesus will come to Him, and He will not lose any of them. This underscores the certainty of His success in salvation, which aligns perfectly with the Reformed understanding of God’s sovereign grace.
