How does being in Christ provide assurance of salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Being in Christ assures believers of their salvation because it reflects their union with Him.

The concept of being in Christ is foundational to the assurance of salvation in the Christian faith. In 1 Corinthians 1:30, Paul declares that we are in Christ and that He is our righteousness, wisdom, sanctification, and redemption. This union signifies a profound relationship where believers are accepted by God because of their connection to Christ. Consequently, assurance stems from the fact that our standing before God is based not on our merits, but on Christ’s perfect work. The Holy Spirit assures us of this reality, enabling us to live in confidence and security as we trust in His grace.
