We can know we are saved by examining our faith in Christ alone and aligning it with scriptural truths.
To determine whether one is truly saved, the key is to examine personal beliefs against the truths found in Scripture. It is not about measuring one's actions or perceived righteousness, but rather ensuring that faith is placed solely in Jesus Christ and His work of salvation. Believers must assess whether their hope for eternal life is scriptural, affirming that Christ alone secures salvation. The five solas serve as a litmus test for this, encompassing Scriptures alone, Christ alone, grace alone, faith alone, and God's glory alone as the foundations of true salvation. If one can affirm each of these truths from a heart of genuine faith, they can be assured of their salvation.
