How do we know God's promises and our salvation are secure?
Answered in 1 source
God's promises are secure because they are rooted in His unchanging nature and His perfect covenant with His people.
The assurance of our salvation is grounded in the everlasting covenant God made with His people, as expressed in Genesis 17:7. This covenant, which guarantees our salvation, is ordered and sure, meaning it is perfectly arranged and secure. In Malachi 3:6, God states, 'For I am the LORD, I change not.' This assertion provides the bedrock for our confidence because unlike human promises, God's promises do not waver. In 2 Samuel 23:5, David affirms that his salvation is ordered by God. Therefore, believers find their security in the unchanging promises of God and His perfect plan for salvation.
