Assurance of Salvation: How to Know You’re Truly Saved

Many believers struggle with doubt, wondering, Am I really saved? The Bible offers clear assurance so we can live in confidence, not fear.
1. Assurance Comes from God’s Word
Our feelings change, but God’s promises stand firm:
“These things have I written unto you… that ye may know that ye have eternal life.” – 1 John 5:13 (KJV)

Faith in Christ’s finished work gives us confidence before God.
2. Evidence of a Changed Life
Assurance grows as we see God’s work in our lives:
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” – 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)

A desire for holiness and obedience shows the Spirit’s presence.
3. The Witness of the Holy Spirit
God Himself confirms our salvation through His Spirit:
“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.” – Romans 8:16 (KJV)

This inner assurance comes as we walk with God daily.
Conclusion:
Assurance of salvation is rooted in God’s Word, the Spirit’s witness, and a transformed life.
