How do we know that God has chosen us?

The assurance of being chosen by God comes from a clear understanding of Scripture, particularly from Ephesians 1:4, which teaches that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world. This doctrine underscores the notion that salvation is not based on our actions or decisions but solely on God's sovereign grace. The sermon references the idea that many may feel they must make the decision to follow Christ, yet it is God's calling that ultimately awakens the heart to see one's need for Him. Recognizing ourselves as part of God's chosen people is fundamental to appreciating His unfathomable grace.
