Believers can be assured of their salvation by knowing whom they have believed and relying on His ability to keep them, as stated in 2 Timothy 1:12.
Assurance of salvation comes from faith in Christ and the understanding that it is He who holds our salvation. In 2 Timothy 1:12, Paul expresses confidence in Christ’s power to guard what has been entrusted to Him until that day. This faith is not based on personal merit but on the redemptive work of Christ who saves sinners. Believers find security in God’s promises and His unwavering faithfulness to hold them in grace.
