The Bible provides three critical truths that invite us to pursue assurance of salvation with great confidence: (1) The God-Given Privilege of Assurance Saved People Can Lack Assurance of Salvation You Can Be Assured of Your Salvation You Are Commanded to Be Assured of Your Salvation (2) The Scriptural Basis for Assurance Assurance is Grounded in God’s Character Assurance is Grounded in Christ’s Atonement Assurance is Grounded in Scripture’s Promises (3) The Surefire Means of Gaining Assurance Ground Your Assurance in the Truth, Not In Feelings Verify Your Assurance with Evidence, Not Presumption Repent Of All That Erodes Your Assurance
