Your assurance is based on the Spirit of God. To further assure you of your salvation. God has sent living, daily proof of your relationship. As an official seal is placed on a contract between two individuals to guarantee the contract's validity, so God has given a seal (guarantee) of His promise to you.
Ephesians 1: 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.
The seal given by God as a guarantee of His promise is what? The Holy Spirit!
The Holy Spirit at work within you is indisputable proof of your salvation. The Holy Spirit's work in your life will bring changes. Some changes will be gradual; some will be instant. The inward and outward changes that result are the final proof of your salvation.
2 Corinthians 5: 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!

In Christ's Love and Grace
