How do we know we are saved by grace through faith?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are assured of their salvation by the presence of faith in Christ and the transformation in their lives due to His grace.

The assurance of salvation stems from a believer's faith in Christ, which is a gift from God, as seen in Ephesians 2:8-9. When a person is truly saved, they experience a change in desires and actions, moving from a life centered on sin to a life that seeks to honor God. This transformation is evidence of God's grace at work within them. John emphasizes that the true indication of salvation is not merely claiming to know Christ but living in a way that reflects His light and truth. This new lifestyle is enabled by the Holy Spirit, producing fruit that aligns with righteousness and holiness—a clear sign that one is indeed a possessor of Christ.
