How do I know if I'm truly saved?

Knowing if you're truly "saved" (in a Christian context) involves trusting in Jesus Christ for forgiveness, believing He is God's Son who died and rose again, and experiencing a heart change leading to a desire to follow Him, evidenced by growing faith and good works, even as you acknowledge ongoing sin but turn from it, finding assurance in God's promises rather than perfect performance. Assurance comes from God's Word, not self-effort, and is a present reality when you believe, with the Holy Spirit confirming your new spiritual life.
