The pillar of our security and assurance in our salvation is the gospel. Do you know, understand and believe the gospel? Are you actively and persistently putting your faith in Christ? Here is your primary assurance that you belong to Christ. In addition to this primary means of assurance, we may also draw assurance from the fact that the gospel and word and Spirit are at work in our lives producing the fruit of the Spirit; and from our experience of God's peace and comfort and nearness in the Spirit.
