We know Jesus is our salvation through faith in His revealed word and by the spiritual understanding He grants to His people.
Simeon's declaration in Luke 2:30, "For mine eyes have seen thy salvation," illustrates the personal nature of salvation through Jesus Christ. To know that Jesus is our salvation involves more than mere knowledge; it requires a personal revelation of His grace and mercy. The assurance comes through the Holy Spirit, who opens the eyes of our hearts to understand His truth. Those who are truly His hear His voice and recognize Him as their Savior, a process that occurs through faith, prayer, and the engagement with the Word of God. This relationship is defined not by human effort but by divine revelation that assures believers of their salvation.
