There is so much assurance in Scripture a person would have to be blind to miss it.
And that is because our assurance is built on His strength, His righteousness, His sacrifice, and not our own.
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong." -- 2 Corinthians 12:9-10"And he (the Lord) said unto me, 'My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.' Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
