What is the relationship between God's providence and our assurance of faith?

Answered in 1 source

God's providential workings in history and personal lives significantly contribute to our assurance of faith.

Assurance of faith is intricately connected to the providence of God. Believers gain confidence as they observe His hand in history and personal experiences, affirming the truth of His Word. John writes in 1 John 5:13 about the assurance believers have in knowing they possess eternal life, a knowledge rooted in the testimonies of God's past actions. Additionally, as believers reflect on God's interventions—be it through miraculous provisions or personal deliverances—they bolster their faith. This recognition of God’s sovereign rule, as also stated in Romans 8:28, further cements our trust in Him, providing a solid foundation for assurance in our Christian journey.
