How can believers know they are elect?

Knowing one's election is intrinsically connected to faith in Christ and the transformative work of the Holy Spirit. As stated in Romans 8:30, 'Moreover, whom he did predestinate, them he also called,' indicating that those who are elect will experience a specific and powerful calling that aligns with repentance and belief in the gospel. This calling is reflected in a genuine conviction of sin and a turning toward Christ as Lord and Savior. Additionally, 2 Peter 1:10 encourages believers to 'give diligence to make your calling and election sure,' promoting self-examination of one's faith. Recognizing the workings of God in one’s life, through the fruit of the Spirit and a love for Christ, serves as assurance of being among the elect.
