How can I be assured of my salvation?

The assurance of salvation is rooted in our faith in Christ alone. Ephesians 2:8-9 emphasizes that salvation is by grace through faith, which is a gift from God; it is not based on our works. Thus, assurance begins with acknowledging our total inability to earn salvation and relying solely on the righteousness of Christ. Additionally, as believers experience the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in their lives—desiring the things of God and exhibiting evidence of spiritual fruit—they can have confidence that they are indeed known by Christ. This reflects a true understanding of salvation and a true relationship with Him.
