How do we know that Jesus is the Savior of believers?
Answered in 1 source
Jesus is the Savior of believers because He died for them, and their faith is rooted in His grace and work in their hearts (1 Timothy 4:10).
The Scriptures affirm that Jesus is the Savior specifically for those who believe, as seen in 1 Timothy 4:10 where Paul proclaims that they labor and suffer reproach because they trust in the living God who is the Savior of all men, especially those that believe. This underscores the heart of Reformed theology, which holds that salvation is a work initiated by God, where Christ laid down His life for His people. Believers do not come to faith in their own strength but through the grace of God, showing the distinctive work of the Holy Spirit in their hearts that leads them to trust in Christ's redemptive work.
