How do we know God's grace is at work in our hearts?

Answered in 1 source

We know God's grace is at work when we seek Him sincerely and long for a relationship with Him.

The work of God's grace in a believer's heart is evidenced by a genuine seeking of the Lord. As stated in Jeremiah 50:4-5, when God's grace begins its work, individuals will seek the Lord, expressing a desire for a relationship with Him. This seeking is not merely for benefits like heaven but for God Himself. When God's grace transforms the heart, it ignites a longing for fellowship with the Creator, reminiscent of a child seeking a lost parent. This transformation contrasts with natural pursuits for religious activities or moral conformity, illustrating that true seeking is born out of a relational depth rather than mere obligation. If God's grace is operating in you, you will find yourself earnestly desiring the Lord, which indicates that you have been drawn by His grace from your prior state of estrangement.
