How do we know Jesus' mission is to save His people?

Answered in 1 source

The scriptures affirm that Jesus came specifically to save His elect, as highlighted in His very name and mission.

The mission of Jesus is fundamentally rooted in the understanding of His name, which means 'Deliverer'. The angel instructed Joseph to name Him Jesus because He would save His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21). This underscores the personal and particular nature of His salvation; Jesus did not come to make salvation possible for everyone but to effectually save those whom the Father has given to Him. Biblical passages like John 10:16 and Hebrews 10:5-14 further demonstrate that He came with a definitive purpose to secure the salvation of His chosen people, affirming the thought of sovereign grace in Christ’s work of redemption.
