How can I be sure that I am chosen by God?

The Bible teaches that God's election is rooted in His grace and purpose, as seen in Ephesians 1:4-5. One can have assurance of being chosen by God if they exhibit the fruit of the Spirit in their life, which includes love, obedience, and a desire to follow Christ. 2 Peter 1:10 encourages believers to 'make your calling and election sure' through diligence in faith and virtue. This means actively looking for evidence of spiritual growth and a heart aligned with God's will. An ongoing desire to glorify God and pursue holiness can provide assurance of one's status as one of God's chosen people.
