How do we know that God distinguishes His elect from others?

Answered in 1 source

God distinguishes His elect through sovereign election and providential acts, as illustrated by His miracles in Egypt.

In Psalm 105, God’s miracles in Egypt highlight His distinguishing grace towards Israel, showing that his interventions serve a divine purpose. The plagues that afflicted the Egyptians while sparing the Israelites exemplify this separation. God's promise to protect His people in the land of Goshen—where plagues could not touch them—serves as a vivid representation of His chosen ones being favored and preserved from judgment. This concept affirms historic Reformed theology's understanding that God's elect are set apart by His sovereign plan, ultimately leading them to salvation through Christ.
