Salvation enables Christians to become slaves to righteousness. You are a slave to Satan or God. If you choose God, then a righteous lifestyle becomes the source of evidence of whom you belong to. You are no longer a prisoner on death row. You are free from condemnation and the penalty of sin, so you should be living like a freely for God. The evidence is in your spiritual fruit.
Evidence of your salvation can be found in your sanctification. Sanctification is the process of being conformed to the image of Jesus. It starts with faith and is seen in your labors of love and hope in Jesus that endures. You become an example to other people in how to live a life for Jesus.
Faith that reflects Jesus will be proven in your character and deeds. A proven character is refined throughout the faith journey. It produces praise, glory, and honor for Jesus. God has prepared your path, you just need to take every opportunity to glorify Him along the way. Be careful to devote yourself to good works that will profit everyone.
