How do we know the doctrine of saving knowledge is true?

Answered in 1 source

We can know saving knowledge is true through personal experience and the teachings of Scripture.

The certainty of saving knowledge stems from the transformative work of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life. In 1 Timothy 2:4, salvation is described as coming to a knowledge of the truth. Each believer possesses an intuitive understanding of God's righteousness, a knowledge illuminated by His Word (Romans 8:28). As Paul states in Romans 10:2, individuals can be ardent in their faith yet lack true understanding. Thus, saving knowledge is characterized by an acknowledgment of God's righteousness, a deep awareness of our sinful condition, and a reliance on Christ alone for salvation. This truth resonates in the hearts of the redeemed, confirming its authenticity.
