We can be sure of our salvation by placing our faith solely in Christ and His finished work.
Assurance of salvation comes from examining where our trust lies. The Apostle Paul encourages believers to make their calling and election sure by determining whom they are trusting in at any moment. Salvation is not based on past professions but on a continual reliance on Christ. In Galatians, Paul clarifies that salvation is not dependent on our works, but rather, it is rooted in faith in Jesus as the complete and sufficient Savior. By acknowledging our inability to save ourselves and recognizing Christ as our sole righteousness, we gain the assurance that we are indeed saved. This assurance produces peace and confidence in the life of a believer, assuring them of their future with Christ.
