We can know if we are among God's elect by responding to Christ as our Savior and feeling the urge to come to Him, as stated in John 6:37.
The assurance of being among the elect is detailed in John 6:37, where Jesus states, 'All that the Father hath given me shall come to me.' This passage indicates that those truly called by God will inevitably seek Christ. The act of coming to Christ is not a mere decision but a divine drawing by the Father, whereupon transformation occurs. Furthermore, 1 Thessalonians 1:4-5 reassures believers of their election through the powerful working of the gospel in their lives. The election is not about mere intellectual acknowledgment but rather about the transformative experience that comes from encountering Christ through power and assurance.
