True salvation is evidenced by faith in Christ's finished work, not by outward rituals or personal feelings.
Knowing we are saved is fundamentally about assurance in Christ and His work rather than our performance or feelings. The sermon emphasizes that faith in Christ's blood is sufficient to cleanse every sin, and His righteousness covers every need. This assurance does not depend on our constancy or feelings of happiness, but on the faithfulness of God and the sufficiency of Christ's atonement. Scripture teaches that salvation is a gift of grace through faith, not of works (Ephesians 2:8-9). Even when doubts arise or when one feels inadequate, it is Christ's faithfulness and grace that assures believers of their standing before God. Thus, salvation is grounded in acceptance through Christ's mediation rather than personal merit.
