How do we know that God has an elect people?

The doctrine of election is founded upon biblical texts that describe God's sovereign choice in salvation. Ephesians 1:4-5 states, 'According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.' This illustrates that God, in His infinite wisdom and grace, has set apart a specific group of individuals whom He will redeem through Christ. The bride of Christ, as depicted in Proverbs 31 and elsewhere, embodies this reality by engaging actively in ministry, reflecting the assurance of her calling and the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan.
