How do we know that God saves sinners from their sins?

Answered in 1 source

The story of Elisha demonstrates how God blinds sinners to their own righteousness and leads them to repentance.

In 2 Kings 6, the Syrian army represents the enemies of God, paralleling how individuals may view themselves in their unrighteous state. Elisha's actions, specifically calling upon God to blind the Syrian soldiers, symbolizes how God first blinds sinners to their own perceived goodness before revealing their true condition and need for salvation. This act of blinding leads them to acknowledge their state as enemies of God and to seek His mercy. The true picture of salvation emerges as God reveals Himself through Christ, who willingly bears the punishment for our sins, transforming us from enemies into beloved children.
