How do we know that Jesus saves us?

The certainty of Jesus' saving power is rooted in the acknowledgment of our need and the faith we place in Him. In Luke 18:42, Jesus tells the blind man, 'Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee.' This illustrates the connection between faith and salvation—it's through believing in Christ and His work that we are granted spiritual sight and redemption. This faith is not merely intellectual assent but a deep, transformative trust in Jesus as our Savior, which the Holy Spirit initiates in the heart of the believer. The gospel assures us that Christ is actively engaged in saving needy sinners, providing the assurance of eternal life through faith.
