We know Jesus is our Savior through the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, His perfect life, sacrificial death, and resurrection, which provide the assurance of salvation.
The affirmation that Jesus is indeed our Savior is grounded in both Old Testament prophecies and New Testament declarations. From Genesis 3:15, which introduces the promise of redemption, to the specific descriptions found in Isaiah's prophecies, the Scriptures present Jesus as the prophesied Messiah who takes away the sins of His people. His life exemplified perfect obedience to the Father, culminating in His unjust death on the cross, which He embraced willingly as the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world. The resurrection of Christ serves as the ultimate validation of His divinity and the efficacy of His redemptive work, fulfilling God's covenant promises and ensuring our acceptance before Him as Ephesians 1:6 states, 'He has made us accepted in the Beloved.'
