How can I be sure I am saved?

Answered in 5 sources

Assurance of salvation comes through faith in Christ and evidence of transformation in one's life (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Assurance of salvation is a vital aspect of the Christian faith and can be understood through Scripture. In 2 Corinthians 5:17, it states, 'If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.' This transformation is evidence of the work of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life, leading to a change in desires and a genuine pursuit of holiness. Furthermore, the assurance is grounded in faith — trusting in the sufficiency of Christ’s sacrifice and His promises. A believer can reflect on their life to see the evidence of this transformation, alongside a persistent hope and reliance on God’s grace, confirming their status as a child of God.
