How do we know that salvation is in the Lord?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is assured in the Lord, as it is solely based on His righteousness and the act of Christ on the cross.

The certainty of salvation being 'in the Lord' is rooted in God's promises throughout Scripture. Isaiah 45:17 explicitly states, 'But Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation,' underscoring that salvation comes only through God's initiative and grace. It is not based on our actions or inherent righteousness, but rather the righteousness of Christ, as noted in Romans 11:26, which declares that 'all Israel shall be saved.' For believers, their hope rests completely in what Christ accomplished on the cross, as exemplified by Paul who asserts in Philippians 3:3 that true worshippers have 'no confidence in the flesh,' but instead look to Christ alone for justification.
