Can Christians have assurance of salvation? Yes, because the God who grants saving faith is able to sustain saving faith toward those whom He has graciously redeemed. Assurance is rooted in the Giver of faith, not the recipient of faith. Christians are to make every effort to confirm our calling and election (2 Peter 1:10), yet beneath our effort in sanctification is God’s grace working in us, keeping us, and sustaining us (1 Corinthians 15:10). Below are just a few passages of Scripture that teach us that those who possess genuine faith in Christ, can have assurance that they will keep genuine faith in Christ despite trials, hardships, temptations, or temporary seasons of doubt.
