How do we know we are saved according to the Bible?

The assurance of salvation is not found by focusing on our performance or introspection but by fixing our eyes on Christ — the Author and Finisher of our faith. As noted in various texts, such as Romans 8:28-30 and 1 John 5:13, true assurance comes through understanding the Gospel's promise and God's sovereign choice to save. The believer’s confidence is bolstered by the recognition of God's grace and the transformative work He has done within them. This assurance also encourages them to live faithfully and minister effectively to others, as they consider their own salvation and the grace extended to them.
