We know we are chosen by God through the evidence of faith and love in our lives, as well as our response to the call of the Gospel.
In the New Testament, specifically in passages like John 15:16 and 1 Peter 1:2, it emphasizes that those who are chosen by God exhibit faith in Christ and the workings of the Holy Spirit in their hearts. This choice is not something initiated by man but is rooted in God's eternal purpose and grace. The assurance of our election is seen through the fruit of love and obedience to God's commands, indicating that we are among those given to Christ by the Father, as seen in John 17:9-10.
