God's salvation is confirmed through His promises in Scripture and the historical act of salvation exemplified by the crossing of the Red Sea.
The reality of God’s salvation is rooted in His historical dealings with His people, particularly evident in the Exodus narrative where He delivered Israel from Egyptian bondage. Moses assured the Israelites in Exodus 14:13, "Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord." This act was not merely a momentary rescue but a demonstration of God’s covenant faithfulness. As Christians, we can look to the ultimate fulfillment of salvation through Jesus Christ, who embodies the greater Exodus, delivering us from the bondage of sin and death.
Furthermore, the assurance of our salvation is affirmed through Scripture and the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Romans 8:28-30 indicates that those whom God justified, He also glorified, providing a chain of salvation that secures our eternal state. Engaging with the truths found in Scripture strengthens our confidence in God’s saving work in our lives. In experiencing God’s grace, we also recognize His workings and wonder in our lives, which relationally reaffirms the reality of salvation.
