How do we know that God has redeemed us?

Our assurance of being redeemed is grounded in the doctrine of substitutionary atonement, as articulated in 1 Peter 1:18-19. We were not redeemed with perishable things, but rather with the invaluable blood of Christ, a Lamb without blemish. This truth reinforces that our faith rests in God’s sovereign will, which foreordained our salvation before the foundation of the world. Understanding this solidifies our assurance in the efficacy of Christ's sacrifice and the reality of our redemption, prompting us to respond with humility and worship.
