We know Jesus can save us because of His authority and power demonstrated in Scripture.
Jesus Christ's ability to save is rooted in His divine nature and the authority established in Scriptures. The biblical narrative reveals countless instances of His compassion and power, particularly exemplified in miracles such as raising the dead, which serve as a testament to His sovereignty. When Jairus approached Jesus, he believed that as long as Jesus laid hands on his daughter, she would be healed (Mark 5:23). This reflects a faith recognized in acknowledging Jesus’s ability to carry out His promises. In 2 Timothy 1:12, Paul expresses his confidence, stating, 'I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed to Him.' By recognizing Christ's divine authority and trusting in His promises, believers can be assured of His saving work.
