We know we are preserved by God because Scripture affirms that He sustains and helps those who are brought low.
The Bible declares that 'the Lord preserveth the simple' (Psalm 116:6), indicating that God's preserving grace is actively at work in believers' lives. This preservation starts at the moment we are made aware of our lowly state, surrounded by death and sin, and He helps us by lifting us up from this condition. It is only through His revelation that we recognize our need for divine intervention. Furthermore, God's preservation is not a one-time act but a continuous process, as He upholds us through faith, ensuring that we remain secure in our salvation and empowered to live according to His will. The assurance of our preservation is rooted in the nature of God’s mercy and His covenant promises.
