How do we know if we are saved by grace?

The assurance of our salvation is found by examining the evidence of our faith. According to 1 John 2:3, the evidence that we know Christ is our commitment to keeping His commandments. This does not imply perfection, but a consistent desire to honor Him through our actions. As Christians, our good works are not the basis for our salvation but rather the fruit of a genuine relationship with Christ, who has done the saving work. Furthermore, our assurance can also be fortified by the internal witness of the Holy Spirit, affirming that we belong to God.
