How can we be assured of being among the elect?

The assurance of being among the elect is grounded in God's sovereign grace and His faithfulness to His promises. The preacher notes that those who truly look to Christ in faith are the ones who are saved and belong to Him. In Romans 8:28-30, Paul outlines that those whom God foreknew He predestined, called, justified, and glorified. This golden chain of salvation reassures believers that their faith is a result of God’s grace operating in their lives. Thus, looking to Christ and embracing the Gospel is evidence of being among the elect, as this act of faith is enabled by the Holy Spirit.
