Be that somebody who knows

b) Know that you are accepted
Ephesians 1:6 “We praise God for the glorious graces He poured out on to us who belong to His dear Son.”
John 10:28 “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone who snatch them out of My hand”
c) Know that you are new
John 1:12-13 “To all who believed in Him and accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn - not with a physical birth but a birth that comes from God.”

d) Know that you are free
Galatians 5:1 “Freedom is what we have - Christ has set us free! Stand, then, as free people, and do not allow yourselves to become slaves again.”
