We know Jesus' mission was to save us through scriptures like Matthew 1:21, which states He will save His people from their sins.
Jesus' mission to save is explicitly stated in the Bible. In Matthew 1:21, it is proclaimed that Mary will give birth to a son, and 'You shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.' This clearly indicates that His divine task was rooted in redemption. The New Testament further confirms this through Christ’s proclamations and actions, reflecting His purpose of salvation. In John 17:4, Jesus says He has finished the work which the Father gave Him to do, emphasizing that His life and mission were dedicated to the redemption of His people. Therefore, the entirety of His ministry is characterized by the intention of fulfilling this saving mission.
