Salvation is possible because God has a sovereign plan for redemption that includes the atoning work of Jesus Christ.
The assurance of salvation lies in the sovereignty of God and His redemptive plan established from eternity. Genesis 3:15 foreshadows the coming Savior, indicating God's intention to redeem humanity after the fall. This plan was fulfilled in the New Testament through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, who provided atonement for sin (John 3:16). Our nature may lead us to believe we are beyond redemption due to our sins, but we must remember that God's grace can reach even the most hardened hearts. As noted in Romans 5:8, 'while we were still sinners, Christ died for us,' showcasing that God's mercy is greater than our failings.
