Faith provides assurance of our salvation as it responds to God's promises and the work of Christ.
The proof of salvation is fundamentally connected to the believer's faith in Jesus Christ. In the sermon, it was articulated that if the Lord accepted Manoah's offerings, it served as a reassurance that God was not going to kill them, thus giving them a tangible proof of His grace. Similarly, for Christians, the act of believing in God’s promises as fulfilled in Christ is the evidence of salvation. Faith is not merely intellectual assent but a trusting response to what God has stated in His Word. Therefore, our assurance and proof of salvation lie in our faith which acknowledges that Christ’s sacrifice was sufficient and that we have been accepted in Him.
