How do we know that God's salvation is true?

The assurance of God's salvation rests in His character as both merciful and just. The account of Lot’s deliverance from Sodom serves as a testament to God's saving grace. Even amidst the impending destruction of an entire city, God showed mercy to Lot and his family, illustrating that salvation is a work of divine grace. This assurance is rooted not in human merit, but in the faithful character of God, who cannot abandon His promises or His people. Therefore, the believer finds confidence in God’s mercy as the solid foundation of salvation.
