Proof and assurance are not synonyms.

Quote
Webster's Dictionary, 1925 Edition, Assurance: Protestant Theology. Certainty of divine grace or of salvation.

Quote
And it is these naturally flowing good works which the Spirit works within the soul (Eph 2:10; Jam 2:26; et al) that are evidence of a true faith and from which the believer has warrant to have assurance.

If a believer lacks certainty of salvation, where does he go to obtain it?
