How do we know Christ's power to save is true?

Answered in 6 sources

We know Christ's power to save is true through Scripture, which declares Him as the Savior with the authority to grant eternal life to His people.

The authority and power of Christ to save are established in sacred Scripture. In John 17:2, Jesus says, 'As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him,' illustrating His sovereign power over salvation. Furthermore, Matthew 28:18 confirms that all power in heaven and earth has been given to Him, reinforcing His authority. The testimony of His resurrection and continued reign supports the belief that He is not only capable of saving but actively intercedes for His elect. Thus, the assurance rests on His divine nature and the truth of Scripture, providing believers confidence in His power to save.
