How does God's face shining upon us relate to our assurance of salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's shining face signifies His reconciliation with us, fostering assurance of salvation for believers.

The phrase 'God's face shining upon' us, found in Numbers 6, denotes a state of being fully reconciled to God. This assurance is rooted in the understanding that through Christ’s atoning sacrifice, believers are no longer enemies but have been accepted into His family. Romans 5:10 teaches that reconciliation happened through Christ's death when we were still sinners. Embracing this truth allows believers to be assured of their standing before God. When we see God’s countenance lifted towards us, it reflects His acceptance and love, dispelling doubts of our standing in His grace. Assurance comes from looking at the completed work of Christ rather than our own imperfections, leading to peace and confidence in our salvation.
