How can believers have assurance of their salvation?

Answered in 3 sources

Believers can have assurance through their ongoing belief in Christ and their love for others, as evidence of their being born of God.

1 John is often addressed to provide believers with assurance of their salvation. John writes that those who believe in the name of the Son of God can know they have eternal life (1 John 5:13). The manifestation of faith in Christ and love for the brethren serves as proof of their new birth. John reaffirms that true believers cannot cease to believe or love, which is a mark of their regeneration. Thus, the comfort found in knowing that their salvation is secure comes from the consistent evidence of their faith and love, rooted in the work of Christ who destroyed the power of sin and death.
