How do we know God provides for our salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible shows that God provides for our salvation through the sacrificial death of Christ, as foreshadowed in Genesis 22, where Abraham states, 'God will provide himself a lamb.'

God's provision for our salvation is rooted in His character and the sacrificial system established in Scripture. In Genesis 22, when Abraham tells Isaac, 'God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering,' it signifies that God would ultimately provide the perfect sacrifice for sin. This is a direct reference to Christ, who was foreordained before the foundation of the world to be the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world (1 Peter 1:20). Throughout biblical narrative, we see this theme unfolding, where God requires a sacrifice not just from any man, but the perfect substitutionary atonement found in His Son. This assurance of God's provision assures believers that salvation is not based on human efforts but on God's sovereign grace, exemplified in the work of Christ on the cross.
