How do we know that Christ's death and resurrection save us?

Answered in 1 source

We know that Christ's death and resurrection save us because Scripture assures us that His work is sufficient for the redemption of His people.

The assurance that Christ's death and resurrection save us is rooted in the declaration of Scripture. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 states that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, emphasizing the objective nature of His redemptive work. This indicates that salvation is not built on our actions or beliefs alone but on the accomplished work of Christ.

As believers, we hold to the truth that Christ's sacrifice was not a general offer of salvation but rather an effective atonement for those chosen by God (Ephesians 1:4-5). The promise of salvation through faith in Christ aligns with God's sovereign plan, assuring that all for whom Christ died will indeed come to faith. Furthermore, Romans 8:30 assures us that those whom God predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified. The irrevocable nature of this grace highlights the certainty of our salvation through Christ’s work.
