How can we be assured of our salvation?

Assurance of salvation is fundamentally tied to the recognition of what Christ accomplished through His atoning sacrifice. Romans 8:1 states, 'There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.' This assurance rests on God's satisfaction with the sacrifice of His Son. In the sermon, the fall of fire from heaven symbolizes God's acceptance of Elijah's offering, mirroring how Christ’s sacrifice is fully accepted by God, thus securing salvation for those who believe. When believers grasp that their standing before God is based solely on what Christ has done for them and not on their own merits, they can confidently rest in the knowledge that they are secure in Him, as all whom Christ died for will certainly be saved.
