How do we know that Jesus saves His people?

Answered in 2 sources

We know Jesus saves His people through His purpose of redemption and His promise of eternal life, as illustrated in John 10:27-28.

The surety of Jesus saving His people lies in His unwavering purpose of redemption. Throughout Scripture, we see that Jesus came specifically to seek and save the lost, as stated in Luke 19:10. His mission focuses not on gathering crowds for the sake of popularity but on fulfilling His Father’s will to save His elect. In John 10:27-28, Jesus promises that His sheep hear His voice, follow Him, and are given eternal life, ensuring that none will be lost. This declaration reveals the security of salvation for those whom He calls and chooses.

Additionally, the concept of God's sovereignty in salvation is emphasized in Romans 8:28-30, where Paul explains that those whom God foreknew, He predestined, called, justified, and glorified. This chain of redemption highlights that salvation is the work of God from beginning to end, assuring us that Jesus accomplishes His saving work effectively and perfectly. The healing and restoration seen in the ministry of Jesus during His earthly life serve as tangible reminders of His compassion and capacity to save, echoing the promise that He will not lose any of those the Father has given Him. Therefore, our confidence in Jesus' ability to save rests firmly on His unchanging character and the fulfillment of His redemptive plan.
