We know God saves His people through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, verified in scripture such as John 3:16.
The assurance of salvation for God's people rests on the completed work of Jesus Christ, who came to redeem sinners through His death and resurrection. In John 3:16, it is affirmed that 'God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.' This promise is further supported by passages such as Romans 10:13, which declares that 'everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.' God’s initiative in salvation is underscored by the doctrines of grace, emphasizing that it is not through human effort but through God’s sovereign choice and action that we are saved. Thus, the entirety of scripture points to God's faithfulness in saving those He has chosen.
