How do we know our election as heirs of God is true?

Answered in 1 source

Our election as heirs of God is confirmed through our faith in Christ and the transformative work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts.

The certainty of our election is intrinsically linked to our response to the Gospel. As stated in John 6:37, 'All that the Father gives me will come to me.' When an individual comes to faith in Christ, it is evidence of their election. The preaching of the Gospel acts as a divine call — it brings to light our need for salvation and elicits a response of faith. The Apostle Paul reaffirmed this in 1 Thessalonians, where he expressed confidence in their election based on the transformative impact of his preaching. Believers find assurance in the workings of the Holy Spirit, who affirms our status as sons and daughters of God (Romans 8:14).
