We can be assured of our salvation by doing the will of the Father, which is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and live in a relationship with Him.
The assurance of salvation comes from a heart that seeks to know God and does His will. This involves believing in Jesus Christ and not merely relying on a profession of faith. The Lord calls us to follow Him earnestly, as those who truly know Him will exhibit a life transformed by His grace. The evidence of salvation is seen in our desires, our struggles against sin, and our reliance on Christ's righteousness. This examination calls for diligence to make our calling and election sure, ensuring our lives reflect our relationship with the Savior who is our life.
