How do we know our salvation is close?

The Apostle Paul, in Romans 13:11, reminds believers that our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. This statement reflects the eschatological hope that while we experience the fullness of salvation now, the culmination of our salvation will be realized in Christ's return. The assurance comes from the work of Christ, who completed our redemption and continually saves us from the effects of sin. Believers await the day when they will fully experience the salvation that has been secured for them, emphasizing the urgency of living in light of this truth.
