How does faith relate to assurance of salvation?

Answered in 3 sources

Faith and assurance of salvation are interconnected, as genuine faith leads to assurance.

Faith is the means by which believers grasp assurance of their salvation. Hebrews 6 encourages believers to exhibit diligence towards the full assurance of hope. This assurance stems from a genuine relationship with Christ, as seen in 2 Corinthians 1:20, where all of God's promises fulfill in Christ. Believers are called to examine their faith — if it rests on Christ and His promises, their assurance is inherently secure. As faith grows in Christ, so does the assurance of God’s grace and mercy towards them, reinforcing their confidence and grounding in salvation.
