How can I be assured of my salvation?

Answered in 8 sources

Assurance of salvation comes from hearing and believing the Word of Christ and recognizing the changes in our lives (1 John 5:13).

Assurance of salvation is founded on the promises of God as revealed in Scripture. 1 John 5:13 assures believers that they can know they have eternal life because it is based on faith in Christ and His work. This confidence does not stem from our feelings or actions but is rooted in God's faithful character and the completed work of Christ on our behalf. Additionally, the presence of spiritual fruit in one’s life, such as a love for God and His Word, acts as evidence of genuine faith. Therefore, looking to Christ, hearing His Word, and observing the transformation in our hearts provides a solid foundation for assurance.
