How do we know Jesus came to save us?

In Luke 2:10-11, the angels proclaim to the shepherds, 'For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.' This direct announcement reveals that the very reason for Jesus' birth is his role as the Savior, affirming that his coming was purposefully designed for salvation. Furthermore, throughout the New Testament, Jesus is referred to as 'God's salvation' (Luke 2:30; Acts 4:12), emphasizing that he is not only the means of salvation but also embodies the essence of salvation itself. Understanding this helps us grasp that Jesus' life, death, and resurrection fulfill the redemptive plan established long before his birth.
