How do we know Jesus saves us from our sins?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus saves us from our sins by bearing the penalty of our sin on the cross, as demonstrated in 1 Peter 1:18-19.

The assurance that Jesus saves us from our sins is founded on the biblical doctrine of substitutionary atonement. In 1 Peter 1:18-19, we learn that we were redeemed with the precious blood of Christ, who was a lamb without blemish and without spot. This sacrifice was necessary to satisfy the demands of God's justice, allowing believers to be saved from the condemnation of sin. Jesus took upon himself the sins of many, bearing the penalty that we deserved, thereby securing our redemption and liberation from sin's power. Therefore, believers have confidence in the efficacy of Christ’s sacrifice as the means by which salvation is provided.
