How do we know that Christ saves sinners?

Answered in 2 sources

We know Christ saves sinners because the Bible affirms His purpose and ability to redeem those who come to Him in faith.

The assurance that Christ saves sinners is rooted in biblical truth, specifically in what is articulated in 1 Timothy 1:15. This verse not only states Jesus's intention but also underlines His capability to achieve His redemptive purpose. Believers can have confidence in this truth because it is founded on the authority of Scripture, where God’s promise and Christ’s powerful work on the cross are plainly revealed. The sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus serve as the ultimate confirmation of His ability to save.

Additionally, the testimony of numerous lives transformed by His grace throughout history provides further evidence of His saving power. The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in drawing hearts to Christ, making the act of coming to Him accessible to even the weakest of believers. It's not the strength or depth of one’s faith that matters but the object of that faith—Christ Himself. Therefore, reliance on Jesus's promises and the experiences of transformed lives together serve as a strong foundation for knowing that Christ indeed saves sinners.
