To know if you are among the elect, consider whether you have a genuine interest in Christ and His atoning work.
Determining one's election is not about simply asking if you are among God's chosen, but rather examining your heart and inclinations toward Christ. If you possess a desire to know Him, recognize your sinfulness, and seek His salvation, this reflects a work of the Holy Spirit within you. The scriptures assure us that those ordained to eternal life will believe (Acts 13:48), and true faith will manifest through a hunger for Christ and His righteousness. Thus, a genuine interest in Christ and His accomplishments serves as evidence of being among the elect.
