We know we are saved from sin through faith in Jesus Christ and the transformation He brings to our lives.
Our assurance of salvation stems from the clear promises found in Scripture, especially in passages like Romans 6, which articulates the transformative power of being united with Christ in both death and resurrection. Romans 6:6 declares, 'Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.' This demonstrates that salvation is not merely about being forgiven but also about being delivered from the dominion of sin.
Furthermore, in Jude 24-25, we find assurance in God's ability to preserve us: 'Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.' Our confidence rests on the faithfulness of Christ who not only redeems us but also sustains us throughout our lives, affirming that those who genuinely believe in Him will see the fruits of their salvation manifested in a life transformed by grace.
