How do we know God's chosen vessels are saved?

The narrative of Saul's conversion in Acts 9 serves as a powerful example of how God elects individuals for salvation and service. Ananias was instructed by the Lord that Saul was a 'chosen vessel' who was intended not only to believe in Christ but also to proclaim the gospel to others. This demonstrates the sovereign grace of God, emphasizing that salvation is rooted in God's divine choice and purpose rather than human merit. Paul's transformation from persecutor to apostle exemplifies the incredible power and reach of God's grace.
