We can have assurance of salvation—the conviction of
believers that now and in the future they are in an unbreakable and covenantal
fellowship with God. Assurance of salvation (eternal security) is the central
theme of Protestant doctrine and is an offshoot of trust in the faithfulness of
God and the inerrancy of the Bible as well as the inner witness of the Holy
Spirit (Rom. 8:38–39; 2 Cor. 1:18–20; 2 Tim. 2:13); and it is based on God’s
past actions (vv. 31, 32) and His present actions on their behalf (vv. 33, 34).
Christ continually intercedes for believers in a courtroom where deliverance
replaces condemnation (v. 28). Christ, the One who could condemn believers, is
in reality pleading their cases (see John 2:1–21).Theologically, assurance is
grounded on the character of God and the finality of his revelation in Jesus
Christ. [http://paulsepistletotheromans.yolasite.com/the-blessing-of-love.php]
