How do we know if we are truly elected by God?

Determining our election is closely tied to understanding our calling. As stated in 2 Peter 1:10, one must first examine their calling—are we genuinely responding to the gospel? Genuine belief in Christ, as the one who satisfies all God's requirements for salvation through His righteousness, is a sign of being among the elect. Our election is ultimately proven by our faith in Christ; if we believe in the gospel and rest in His redemptive work, then we can confidently affirm our standing as God's chosen people, as outlined in Romans 8:28-30. The assurance lies not in our actions but in our faith in Christ’s completed work.
