How do we know Jesus Christ provides our salvation?

The assurance that Jesus Christ provides salvation lies in His fulfilling the requirements set forth by God through His life, death, and resurrection. As depicted in Genesis 40, Joseph serves as a typological representation of Christ, who intervenes on behalf of those in prison—symbolizing sin and separation from God. Christ came to provide for all spiritual and physical needs by offering Himself as the ultimate sacrifice, bearing the sins of His chosen people. This reveals that salvation is not based on personal achievements but rather on Christ's work alone, which God has ordained for our reconciliation. We are reminded through this story that approaching God with our own works is insufficient; rather, we must come as the butler did—not with our accomplishments, but as those in need of mercy.
