God's elect are known by their faith and the work of His grace in them, as they come to Christ and produce good works.
In the context of God's election, believers can know they are part of the elect through the manifestation of saving faith. As stated in John 6:37, 'All that the Father giveth me shall come to me,' demonstrating that those given to Christ will inevitably come to Him in genuine faith. This faith is not self-generated but a gift from God, distinguishing the elect from others. The outward evidence of this faith is seen in good works and a transformed life, fulfilling the purpose of demonstrating the reality of God's grace in them.
