The following is an abstract of the article

Moving From Uncertainty Toward Assurance — How God Assures His Adopted Children

God not only rescues His people from their sins; He also grants them assurance of salvation. We see God at work assuring His adopted children that they are truly part of His family in three ways. The Father gives His children the promise of adoption in His Word, He sends the Spirit of His Son into our Hearts to assure us, and He changes our lives so that we bear an imperfect, but real, family resemblance to Him and His Son.

You will find the complete article here.
