How can a believer live with real confidence that they belong to God, even while they still struggle with sin?

In this episode of Wednesday in the Word, Krisan Marotta walks through key New Testament passages to show how God marks His people inwardly (by a changed heart that endures through testing) and how that mark becomes the basis of true assurance of salvation.

In this week’s episode, we explore:

Why the question “How do I know I’m saved?” is not only common but crucial
The biblical idea of God “marking” His people—not outwardly, but by circumcising the heart
How holiness is first a change in direction of the heart, not instant moral perfection
The fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5 and what these qualities reveal about a heart inclined toward God
How the Beatitudes in Matthew 5 describe the inner life of those who will enter the kingdom of heaven
The difference between sinners who don’t care about their sin and “righteous sinners” who grieve it and hunger for righteousness
Why common approaches to assurance—like relying on a remembered prayer or only on God’s general promises—can give false or incomplete comfort
How Romans 5 teaches that tested faith, proven through suffering and perseverance, produces a hope that “does not put us to shame”
Why God uses trials to reveal, both to us and to others, that His Spirit is truly at work in our hearts

After listening, you’ll come away with a clearer, more biblically grounded understanding of assurance. You’ll see that the evidence of salvation is not a flawless life or a perfectly steady heart, but a tested faith that continues to seek God, hate sin, and long for His kingdom. And you’ll be encouraged to view your trials not as proof that God has abandoned you, but as the very means by which He makes it visible that you belong to Him.
