How do we know that God has marked us for salvation?
Answered in 1 source
We know we are marked for salvation by God's eternal purpose and grace, as written in Scripture.
The affirmation that God has marked us for salvation before the foundation of the world is a profound comfort rooted in 2 Timothy 1:9. Paul explains that God's purpose and grace were given in Christ Jesus before time began, reflecting His eternal plan to redeem a people for Himself. This sovereign act of election assures believers that their salvation is secure, based not on fluctuating human merit but on immutable divine decree. The believer's assurance is not in their subjective experiences but in the unchanging promises of God, confirming that every believer has always been in the mind of God, destined for grace and glory.
