How do we know that the centurion was truly saved?

Answered in 1 source

The centurion demonstrated true faith by acknowledging Jesus as the Son of God and glorifying Him after witnessing His crucifixion.

The centurion's declaration, 'Truly this was the Son of God' (Matthew 27:54), is significant as it represents a radical transformation from a God-hating sinner to a believer. Throughout the sermon, it's emphasized that his faith was a result of hearing Jesus’ words and witnessing the events surrounding the crucifixion, which profoundly impacted his understanding. This acknowledgment and glorification of God signal that he truly comprehended who Jesus was, indicating a genuine conversion (Romans 10:9). Historic Reformed theology underscores that salvation is a work of God's grace, and the centurion's faith illustrates that even the most unlikely individuals can be drawn to Christ by the Holy Spirit's power.
