Assurance of being one of God's elect comes from understanding that those given to Christ will come to Him, as stated in John 6:37.
To be assured of one's election, one needs to look to the promises made in Scripture. John 6:37 states, 'All that the Father hath given me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.' This verse provides the believer with a profound assurance: if you are drawn to Christ and believe, it is evidence of God's election. The process doesn't rely solely on human understanding but is rooted in the work of God through the gospel. When a person truly hears and responds to the gospel, it is an indication of being chosen by God. Assurance is found not in one's feelings but in the faithfulness of God to His promises and His effectiveness in bringing His elect to salvation.
