How do we know our election is true?

Answered in 15 sources

We can know our election is true by recognizing the powerful effect of the gospel in our lives and by examining our faith and repentance.

The assurance of our election is grounded in the powerful work of the gospel in our hearts. Scripture provides a basis for knowing our election through faith; if the gospel resonates within us and bears fruit, we can affirm our election as true. Believers are encouraged to assess their faith, asking reflective questions regarding their relationship with sin and their commitment to Christ. This examination is not merely about feelings but is anchored in biblical truth (2 Peter 1:10), urging us to discern our spiritual state carefully.
