How do we know Jesus has the authority to save?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus has all authority over salvation, as He is both God and the appointed mediator, given power by the Father.

Jesus asserts His authority in John 17, where He says that all power over all flesh has been given to Him to grant eternal life to those given to Him by the Father. His divine nature, combined with His role as the mediator, affirms that He has the authority to save. Without this power, it would be impossible for Him to save people from the overwhelming burden of sin, self, and Satan. Thus, Jesus is uniquely qualified to execute salvation and provide true rest to weary souls.
