How do we know if we are among the chosen of God?

Answered in 1 source

We know we are chosen by examining our faith in Jesus Christ and by the evidence of God's work in our lives.

The question of whether one is chosen by God is essentially answered by looking at one's faith in Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul asserts in 1 Thessalonians 1 that our election is evidenced by our response to the Gospel. If we believe in the Lord Jesus and demonstrate a life transformed by faith, it serves as assurance of our election. The tendency is not to obsess over whether we are chosen but rather to focus on our faith in Christ and the resulting evidences of that faith displayed in love and good works, as mentioned in Titus 3:5, indicating that salvation is not by works but through faith as a gift from God.
