We know our election is true by examining our faith in Christ and by the transformation it brings in our hearts and lives.
The certainty of our election is validated through a genuine faith in Christ, which, according to Scripture, brings about a transformation in us. When the Holy Spirit works in our lives, we begin to despise sin and crave holiness, revealing evidence of regeneration. Our response to Christ—whether we see Him as vital to our lives—offers profound insight into our election in Him. A lack of spiritual vitality or true affection for Christ may indicate that one has not genuinely been called by Him.
