What gives believers assurance in their salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Believers find assurance in their salvation through God's promises and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:16).

The assurance of salvation is a fundamental aspect of the believer's faith, grounded in the promises of God and the transformative work of the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:16 states that the Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, providing an inner confirmation of one’s relationship with Christ. Furthermore, the security of believers is upheld by God’s unchanging nature—He who predestined and called us will also justify and glorify us (Romans 8:30). This assurance is not based on our works but on Christ’s completed work at Calvary and His ongoing intercession for us before the Father. The reality that believers are kept by the power of God through faith (1 Peter 1:5) instills a deep-rooted confidence in their eternal security.
