How do we know that we are saved according to the Bible?

The assurance of salvation in the Scriptures is intricately tied to our response to God’s Word and our faith in Christ. In Colossians 1:23, Paul reminds us that we are reconciled to God and presented as holy, provided we continue in the faith, grounded and settled. Likewise, 1 John 2:3 indicates that we can know we are in Him if we keep His commandments. This underscores a conditional assurance tied to our faith and obedience, revealing not only our reliance on Christ's work but also the transformative effect it has on our lives. Thus, our eternal security is anchored in Christ alone, who fulfilled all righteousness on our behalf.
