How can we be sure we have heard the gospel?

Answered in 1 source

We know we have heard the gospel if we truly believe and receive it by grace.

Hearing the gospel transcends mere listening; it requires a spiritual awakening from God. In Acts 2:22, Peter commands the men of Israel to 'hear these words.' True hearing is marked by belief and the acknowledgment of one's sinfulness and need for a Savior. If we find ourselves understanding and embracing the gospel as truth, recognizing Christ as our only hope for salvation, then it indicates that God's Spirit has enabled us to hear. Ultimately, the assurance comes from the witness of the Spirit within us, bringing us to repentance and faith.
