How do we know that God has chosen us for salvation?

In Romans 1:7, Paul addresses his audience as 'beloved of God, called to be saints.' This clearly indicates that those who believe have been chosen and called by God for salvation. The assurance of our election is not derived from our own feelings or works but from God's grace imparted to us by the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 1:4-5 further affirms that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, and this election is rooted in His purpose and grace. Thus, our belief and faithfulness in the gospel serve as a confirmation of God's saving work in us.
