How do we know election is true in the Christian faith?

Answered in 2 sources

Election is confirmed through the transformative work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers, as evidenced by their faith and love.

Paul's confidence in the Thessalonians' election comes from their response to the gospel, marked by a genuine work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope. When believers experience the gospel's power and assurance, they can have confidence in their election by God. This internal change, evidenced by a turn from idols to serving the living God, demonstrates that one's faith is alive, affirming God's electing grace at work in their lives.
