“There are two possibilities, therefore, for a doctrine of assurances. First, man can have a valid assurance of salvation because scripture indeed is the word of God, and the sovereign triune God is faithful to His word, and not only redeems man, but gives him an assurance of his salvation and fulfills all his promises, or second, man can have a doctrine of assurances if man says he is his own god and he is able to save himself.”

— R. J. Rushdoony
