How do we know that Christ was sent to save His people?

Answered in 1 source

The assurance of Christ's mission to save is rooted in His own declarations and the purpose of God as revealed in Scripture.

The certainty of Christ's mission stems from His own affirmations as well as the divine purpose outlined in Scripture. Jesus explicitly stated that He came not to save the world in a general sense but to save His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21). This aligns with the Father’s eternal will, as demonstrated in passages like John 6:39, where Jesus assures that all given to Him by the Father will be raised up on the last day. The steadfastness of God's plan indicates that impossible scenarios, such as the failure of Christ to save those chosen by the Father, would contradict His sovereignty and sufficiency. Thus, we confidently affirm that God accomplishes His will, including the redemption of His people.
