Can we know our election?

Answered in 1 source

Believers can have assurance of their election through their faith in Christ, evidenced by their repentance and love for the Gospel.

The certainty of one's election is confirmable through manifesting evidence in one’s life, particularly faith in Christ, love for others, and an eagerness to spread the Gospel. In 1 Thessalonians 1:4, Paul expresses confidence in the Thessalonian believers' election based on their works of faith and labor of love (1 Thessalonians 1:3). This implies that genuine faith and spiritual transformation are fruits of election. Moreover, individuals experiencing conviction of sin, genuine repentance, and a heartfelt commitment to the Gospel receive assurance that their faith signifies their chosen status. Thus, the internal assurance provided by the Holy Spirit and the outward expression of faith and good works contribute to the believer's understanding of their election.
