We know we are justified in Christ through faith, the resurrection of Jesus, and the promises of Scripture.
The assurance of our justification in Christ is grounded in several key theological truths. First, as stated in Romans, 'Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect?' This emphasizes that our justification is confirmed through our election by God before the foundation of the world. Secondly, the resurrection of Christ serves as an assurance of our justification; as He rose from the dead, He demonstrated victory over sin and death, affirming that His sacrificial death was accepted by God. Thirdly, the believer is assured of their standing before God because of Christ's active intercession at the right hand of the Father, as detailed in Hebrews. All these factors combine to provide a firm foundation for the believer’s confidence that they are justified and cannot be condemned.
