How do we know that believers will be rescued from judgment?

The confidence that believers will be rescued from judgment is grounded in the promises found in both the Old and New Testaments. In 2 Peter 2:9, it is stated that 'the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment.' This assurance is underlined by the historical examples of God's intervention, such as the deliverance of Lot from Sodom. God's faithfulness and sovereignty ensure that His chosen people will be safeguarded from ultimate destruction. Furthermore, understanding that our salvation is not dependent on our actions but on Christ’s completed work strengthens our assurance of being saved, as God operates through mercy, grace, and His sovereign will. In essence, believers can rest assured that they are shielded by God's unyielding grace.
