How do we know that the gospel is able to save our souls?

Answered in 1 source

The gospel is declared to be powerful and saving, as it is the word of God itself, which cannot return void (Isaiah 55:11).

The power of the gospel comes from God Himself, as it is through the preaching of the gospel that the Holy Spirit works to bring salvation. Romans 1:16 affirms that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes. This underscores that the gospel is not merely a set of instructions or moral teachings, but a divine instrument used by God to draw His elect to Himself. In receiving the engrafted word with meekness, believers recognize that it is the source of spiritual life and transformation, able to regenerate and sustain their faith.
