How can I know if I'm among the elect?

Answered in 1 source

You can know you're among the elect if you have a desire to follow Christ and are conscious of your need for salvation.

To determine whether one is among the elect is to consider the transformation and desire within one’s heart. If you find yourself longing to know Christ, love Him, follow, and obey Him, this is indicative of God’s work in your life. As illustrated in Romans 8:29, 'For whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son,' the presence of such a desire speaks to the effectual calling of the Holy Spirit. 1 John 4:19 beautifully encapsulates this concept, stating, 'We love Him because He first loved us.' The awareness of one’s own sinfulness, combined with a heartfelt longing to belong to Christ, serves as evidence of God's grace active in your life—a grace that only the elect experience.
