Our election is confirmed through faith and the resulting fruit of the Spirit in our lives, as stated in Scripture.
The assurance of our election is rooted in our faith in Christ and the transformation that follows. According to 1 Peter 2:9-10, believers are described as a chosen generation and a royal priesthood, called out of darkness into God's marvelous light. Additionally, Colossians 1 reveals that believers have been made meet to partake in the inheritance of the saints, indicating that this divine election manifests in tangible ways. The fruit of the Spirit, which evidences true faith, is crucial here; faith and fruitfulness cannot be separated. As we bear good fruit, we confirm the reality of our election and the work of grace in our lives.
