How do we know God's promises about salvation are true?

Answered in 12 sources

We know God's promises about salvation are true because they are grounded in His unchanging nature and fulfilled through Christ's sacrifice.

Assurance of God's promises regarding salvation stems from His immutable character and the historical reality of Christ's redemptive work. In the Reformed tradition, we emphasize that God's faithfulness assures us that He will not contradict His nature. The salvation of His people was accomplished through Christ’s death and resurrection, which are historical events verified by the Scriptures. God’s Word, which declares that 'salvation belongs to the Lord' (Psalm 3:8), serves as our ultimate source of truth and assurance. Moreover, believers experience the Holy Spirit’s witness, confirming their status as children of God and recipients of His promises.
