Q.80. Can true believers be infallibly assured that they are and will remain in a state of grace, persevering to salvation?
A. Those who truly believe in Christ and try to walk in good conscience before him[1] may be infallibly assured that they are and will remain in a state of grace, persevering to salvation.[2] This assurance is not the result of any unusual revelation but comes from faith grounded on the truth of The Larger Catechism God’s promises and from the Spirit, who gives be lievers the spiritual insight into their own hearts, to which these promises are directed.[3] The Spirit also testifies with their spirits that they are the children of God.[4]
