How can Christians be assured of their salvation in Christ?
Answered in 1 source
Christians can be assured of their salvation because it is grounded in God's sovereign election and not their own works.
The assurance of salvation for Christians is firmly rooted in the sovereignty of God. According to Ephesians 1:4-5, believers are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, establishing that their salvation is not based on personal merit or decision but on God's divine initiative. This means that if God has placed someone in Christ, their salvation is secure as it rests upon God's eternal purposes and unchanging nature. Additionally, the witness of the Holy Spirit, who assures believers of their identity and standing before God, serves as a further guarantee of salvation. The certainty comes from understanding that Christ has fully accomplished the work of redemption, leaving no room for doubt regarding the elect's status in Him.
