How do we know God's power in salvation is true?

Answered in 2 sources

God's sovereignty and power to save are evidenced by the miraculous transformation of the repentant thief on the cross.

The power of God in salvation is not based on human conditions or opportunities; it is solely God's prerogative. In the case of the repentant thief, we see that his change of heart was initiated by God's grace, not by any merit of his own (Luke 23:41-43). This transformative power illustrates that salvation is the work of the King. Both criminals began in mocking disbelief, yet one was undeniably changed and recognized Christ's kingship, thereby showing that it is God's power that brings about true repentance and faith.
