Salvation in Christ is secure because He bears the responsibility for our redemption before God, satisfying divine justice.
The assurance of salvation lies in the understanding that Jesus Christ has taken full responsibility for our redemption. As the sermon explains, God justifies sinners not just out of mercy, but on the grounds of Christ's completed work. Romans 4 and 8 highlights this by stating that blessed is the man to whom God will not impute sin. This is made possible because Christ bore our offenses and was raised for our justification. Therefore, our acceptance before God is anchored in Christ's righteousness, not our own works or merits, giving us a profound assurance of His promise of eternal life.
