We know Jesus came to save us because Scripture affirms His incarnation and mission through prophetic fulfillment and His actions.
The certainty of Christ’s mission to save humanity is rooted in Scripture, which authoritatively details His incarnation. The prophet Isaiah foretold His coming, and the fulfillment of these prophecies is evident throughout the Gospels. For instance, His entry into the world through the virgin birth and subsequent life exemplifies God's plan of redemption. Additionally, Jesus's actions—healing the sick, forgiving sins, and ultimately His sacrificial death and resurrection—affirm His purpose as the Savior. The hymn of angels at His birth proclaims peace and goodwill, signifying His arrival was to reconcile man to God through the sacrificial love displayed on the cross.
