How do we know Jesus came to save his people?

Answered in 3 sources

The purpose of Jesus's coming is affirmed through his own words and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, as he was sent by the Father to redeem those given to him.

In various passages like John 6:37, it is clear that Jesus came to save those whom the Father has given him, ensuring that not one of them will be lost. He states, 'All that the Father giveth me shall come to me,' indicating that his mission is certain and effective. The doctrine of particular redemption, central to sovereign grace theology, affirms that Jesus's sacrificial work is aimed at a specific people. This was foretold in scriptures like Galatians 1:4, where it says he gave himself for our sins, emphasizing the singular purpose of his coming—to save his chosen people from their sins and to deliver them from this present evil world.
