How do we know that Jesus saves sinners?

Answered in 8 sources

We know that Jesus saves sinners through His active role in redemption, as demonstrated in His words to the repentant criminal on the cross.

The assurance of Jesus' saving power is vividly illustrated in His interaction with the repentant criminal crucified beside Him. In Luke 23:43, Jesus says, 'Verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise.' This illustrates that salvation is granted not on the basis of works or merit, but by the grace of Christ actively applied to those who acknowledge their need for Him. Jesus came to seek and to save the lost (Luke 19:10), demonstrating through His crucifixion that His sacrifice provides forgiveness and eternal life to those who believe. Such instances give believers confidence in His promise of redemption and the assurance of salvation.
