Salvation is confirmed through faith in Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit in revealing our sinfulness and Christ's sufficiency.
To know if you are saved, you must reflect on your relationship with Jesus Christ, as emphasized in John 16:7-13. The Holy Spirit plays a vital role by revealing sin, righteousness, and judgment to the believer. When a sinner recognizes their total depravity and looks to Jesus as the only remedy, they can have assurance of salvation. Furthermore, a genuine transformation occurs, leading to a continual reliance on Christ, who fulfills the law on our behalf and bears our punishment.
