How can we be sure we are among the chosen?

Assurance of being among the chosen comes from faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and a transformative relationship with Him. Ephesians 1 speaks to being made 'faithful in Christ Jesus,' indicating that true faith is marked by a changed heart and life. As we grow in our relationship with Christ and exhibit the fruits of the Spirit, we gain confidence in our status as God's chosen people. This assurance stems from recognizing that our belief and any subsequent good works are manifestations of God's grace at work within us, confirming our identity as His elect.
