How do we know that God's grace is for the elect?

The doctrine of grace in the Reformed tradition underscores that God actively chooses a people for Himself. Throughout Scripture, we see a pattern where God reveals Himself to a specific people, as with Joseph and his brothers. In Genesis 45, Joseph spoke directly to his brethren, paralleling how Christ calls His elect to Himself for salvation. The Bible affirms that God’s saving grace is effectual, intended for those whom He has chosen before the foundation of the world, as seen in passages like Ephesians 1:4-5, confirming the beauty of sovereign grace and the assurance of salvation for the elect.
