What role does faith play in a Christian's assurance of salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is a gift from God that secures our assurance of salvation in Christ.

In sovereign grace theology, faith is not merely a human effort but a divine gift that enables us to trust in the sufficiency of Christ’s sacrifice. Assurance comes from understanding that salvation is entirely a work of God, not based on our performance. Ephesians 2:8-9 emphasizes that we are saved by grace through faith, which is itself a gift of God. Therefore, our assurance rests in God’s faithfulness to His promises rather than our fluctuating ability to believe perfectly.
