How do I know if I am among the elect?

The assurance of being among the elect is found in a genuine desire to turn away from attempts to earn favor with God through works and to cling to Christ for salvation. The sermon emphasizes that true believers recognize their need for mercy and rely solely on Christ's finished work. This turning is indicative of God's sovereign work in the heart, suggesting that one has been chosen by Him before the foundation of the world. If you find yourself drawn to Christ and seeking His grace, it is a strong indication of election.
