What does the Bible say about assurance of faith?

Answered in 10 sources

The Bible teaches that assurance of faith is the confidence that one is a believer and a child of God, rooted in God's purposes and promises.

The assurance of faith is central to Christian belief and referenced throughout Scripture. In 1 Peter 1:10, believers are urged to make their calling and election sure, highlighting that assurance involves not mere feelings of confidence but a grounded understanding of God’s saving work through Christ. The assurance is not found in our experiences or feelings, but in faith that aligns with God’s Word. Hebrews 10 emphasizes drawing near to God in full assurance of faith, indicating that such confidence is based on Christ's completed work and not our own merits or efforts.
