How do we know that Jesus came to save His people?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus' purpose for coming is clearly stated in Scripture: He came to save His people from their sins.

According to the teaching in the Gospel accounts, particularly in Luke, it is affirmed that Jesus did not merely come to offer a possibility of salvation but to actively save His chosen people. The phrase 'He came to save His people from their sins' emphasizes the specific intent and effect of His mission. This reflects the historic sovereign grace belief that salvation is particular and intentional, reinforcing that the work of Christ on the cross was a substitutionary atonement for those whom the Father had chosen. Hence, salvation is not left to human choice but is an expression of God's sovereign will.
