It's faith.
We can know that we are saved when we are born again. The change that happens in the person's life is evidence of that.
Plus God promises and assures us of it.
John 3:14-18 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
John 5:24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
John 6:40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
1 John 5:13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life.
We are judged righteous in Christ, not on the basis of what we've done but on the basis of what JESUS has done for us.
We are saved NOW, not just as a future event that we have to wait to find out if we made it.
When you have the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ credited to your account (life), then God sees you as perfect and righteous as Jesus. Your sin is no longer counted against you because Jesus took the punishment for it so that you don't have to.
If God, then still held us accountable for our sin, then He would be unjust demanding payment for sin that was already paid for.
Thank you MM! You’re are the only one who gets the point! It’s really not even about EVH. A lot of confusion and rage at FR about Jesus and ETERNAL salvation (John 3:19-21). That’s one of the reasons for this post, to expose, show and test men and women’s hearts if they are in the faith or not.
We all need Jesus and those who know Him are saved by grace alone, as you well posted!!!
Thanks for your voice!
