We know God can save us because Scripture affirms that He has the power to give spiritual life to those who are dead in sin.
The assurance of salvation lies in understanding that God has the sovereign authority and ability to grant spiritual life. Romans 6:23 teaches that we are spiritually dead in our sins, yet God, in His mercy, saves us by His grace. The conversion of the Apostle Paul is a prime example showcasing how God's intervention can transform a life considered lost. Just as He called Paul from his path of destruction to one of holy purpose, He can do the same for us. The comforting truth is that God's love surpasses our human understanding, and He actively draws us to Himself (Jeremiah 31:3), promising that all who come to Him in faith will not be turned away. This doctrine assures us that our salvation is fundamentally a work of God's grace, as He alone has the power to save those who are lost.
