How do we know our names are written in the Book of Life?

Answered in 7 sources

We can have assurance of our names being written in the Book of Life through faith in Christ and the accompanying spiritual benefits.

Assurance of having one's name written in the Book of Life comes from a genuine faith in Jesus Christ and the transformative work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. As Paul expressed to the Thessalonians, the evidence of election can be seen in how the Gospel comes to us with power and the Holy Spirit, giving us assurance (1 Thessalonians 1:4). Those whose names are written in the Book of Life receive the benefits of being called to faith in Christ, feeling the effects of divine grace, and ultimately perceiving their spiritual condition through the working of the Holy Spirit. The assurance is not merely based on subjective feelings but is backed by the objective truth of God's Word and His promises.
