We know we are chosen by observing our faith in Christ and the transforming work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
The doctrine of election teaches that God chose a people for Himself before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4). The confirmation of this election becomes evident through the calling of the Holy Spirit, drawing individuals to faith in Christ. As stated in 1 Corinthians 1:2, those called are sanctified in Christ, indicating that true believers experience a change brought about by God's grace. The assurance of being chosen is found in our response to the gospel and our enduring faith, reflecting the work of the Holy Spirit in us.
