How do we know the assurance of salvation in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Our assurance of salvation comes from the Spirit's testimony within us, confirming our faith in Christ and our acceptance before God.

The doctrine of assurance in salvation is rooted in the inward testimony of the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 1:13 speaks of believers being sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise after they have believed—this sealing acts as a divine confirmation of our salvation. The Holy Spirit provides the assurance that we are indeed children of God, affirming our faith through transformative experiences and biblical truths. It is essential that we grasp that our confidence before God is not based on our experiences or works but solely on the righteousness of Christ. Therefore, as we trust in Him, our standing is secure, not because of what we have done, but because of what Christ has accomplished (2 Timothy 1:12).
