Why does assurance come from God's satisfaction with Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Assurance is based on God's acceptance of Christ's sacrifice, not our personal experiences.

Assurance of salvation is rooted in God's acceptance of the sacrifice of Christ, as designated in the Scriptures. Assurance does not derive from feelings or works but from the truth that God is satisfied with the offering of His Son. The Bible illustrates that when God sees the blood of Christ, He passes over our sins, emphasizing that our assurance should be anchored in this divine satisfaction rather than in our own perceived holiness or progress. This underscores the need for believers to rest in Christ alone for their assurance of salvation.
