Well, St Paul didn’t have it.

“I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby justified [Gk., dedikaiomai]. It is the Lord who judges me” (1 Cor. 4:4).

Typical Catholic response to take St. Paul’s proclamation of the amazing grace of God and turn it into stealing salvation away from the rest of the world.

[Mark17]

Well, St Paul didn’t have it.

I believe Paul had assurance of salvation. So do I. It’s a wonderful thing. I have no idea why some seem to not want assurance of salvation, but that’s on them.

Paul had total assurance.

“Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”

[imardmd1]

And judging, God says to the human who accept the gift of salvation, by judicially declaring, "Not Guilty"; as He did for Saul/Paul on the road to Damascus.

From then on, Paul was justified, having the righteousness of The Christ imputed to him, in exchange for allowing all his sins to be borne by Jesus and paid for by His Blood shed on the Cross, applied to the True Mercy Seat in Heaven, and accepted by the Mighty God for full remission of sins.
