How do we know Christ captures His people?

We know that Christ captures His people because He executes His sovereign will in their lives. Just as Othniel took the city of Kirjath-Sephir without negotiation, Christ does not seek permission but claims His redeemed people. The transformation in a believer's life is evident when they realize their total dependence on Him for salvation. As seen in the story of Saul's conversion, God takes the initiative, slaying self-righteousness and bringing about new life through His Spirit, firmly establishing Christ as the sovereign Lord over His people.
