How does God's satisfaction relate to our assurance of salvation?
Answered in 1 source
God's satisfaction in Christ's work assures believers of their complete acceptance and pardon (Colossians 2:10).
God's satisfaction with Christ's propitiatory sacrifice is foundational to a believer's assurance of salvation. Colossians 2:10 states, 'And you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.' This completeness comes from the significance of Christ's work; it assures us that God has no more wrath directed towards those for whom Christ died. If God is satisfied with Christ’s adherence to the law and His lie given for our sins, we can have confidence that our standing before God is secure. This truth is intrinsic to the gospel, encouraging believers to trust fully in Christ for their salvation rather than in their own merits.
