Your assurance comes from recognizing your faith in Christ and the work of the Spirit in your life, confirming that the Gospel promises apply to you.
Assurance that the Gospel is for you is rooted in faith and experiential knowledge of God's grace. Paul highlights in Colossians 1:5 that the Gospel comes to individuals through the truth, which is made evident by the work of the Spirit in their hearts. Additionally, the presence of love for others in the body of Christ serves as an indicator of your standing before God. The transformation in desires and affections confirms that you are indeed a beneficiary of Christ's redemptive work. When you can acknowledge genuine faith and love, you can rest in the assurance that the blessings of the Gospel are for you.
