How can Christians have assurance of salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Christians can have assurance of salvation by trusting solely in Christ's work and not in their own righteousness.

Assurance of salvation is grounded in the believer's faith in Christ alone. Romans 10:9-10 explains that if one confesses with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believes in their heart that God raised Him from the dead, they will be saved. This faith rests on Christ's completed work on the cross, securing the believer's justification and acceptance before God. Moreover, the New Testament consistently reinforces that salvation cannot be achieved through works or adherence to the law but is received as a free gift of grace. Consequently, true assurance comes from relying on God's promises and the finished work of Christ, rather than personal efforts or feelings, which can waver. Trusting in Christ alone guarantees our peace, confidence, and standing as justified before God.
