How do we know that Christ's death saves His people?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's death saves His people because He willingly bore their sins and faced divine justice on their behalf, ensuring their salvation.

The assurance of salvation through Christ's death is deeply rooted in Scripture. In Zechariah 13:7, it is affirmed that, upon the shepherd being smitten, the sheep will be scattered, yet we also learn that His sacrificial death was purposeful and planned. Jesus laid down His life for His sheep, facing the full weight of God's wrath against sin as their substitute. This unmerited grace is anchored in the reality that Jesus died not just generally for mankind but specifically for those whom the Father had given to Him, ensuring that all for whom He died will be saved by His omnipotent mercy. Romans 5:8 encapsulates this truth: 'But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.'
