The Bible emphasizes the importance of having assurance of salvation, encouraging believers to make their calling and election sure (2 Peter 1:10-11).
The doctrine of assurance of salvation is both implied and expressed throughout Scripture. 2 Peter 1:10 encourages believers to give diligence in making their calling and election sure, suggesting that assurance is vital for a comfortable and holy walk with God. Similarly, Paul in Colossians 2:1-2 speaks of believers being knit together in love and finding the riches of full assurance. This underscores the fact that assurance is not an unattainable goal but a part of the believers' journey towards a deeper relationship with Christ.
