How do we know that Christ's death was for our salvation?
Answered in 1 source
Scripture teaches that Christ died as a ransom, securing salvation for His people through His sacrificial death.
According to 1 Timothy 2:6, Jesus 'gave himself a ransom for all.' This phrase indicates that His sacrificial death was not arbitrary but intended for those whom the Father gave to Him. This concept of atonement is further elaborated throughout the Bible, asserting that His bloodshed was necessary for the remission of sins, as highlighted in Hebrews 9:22. Christ's death serves as a reconciliatory act, where He took upon Himself the weight of our sins and bore them in His body. As a result, through belief in His redemptive work, we may secure eternal life, and thus His sacrifice is essential for our salvation.
