How do we know that we are part of God's elect?

The assurance of being part of God's elect comes through faith in Christ and the evidence of a transformed life. Romans 8:28-30 assures us that 'whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.' This chain of salvation emphasizes God's sovereign action in our lives. Moreover, the Holy Spirit's work in us creates a desire to follow Christ and turn away from sin, affirming that we are His chosen people. It is by grace alone that we come to know this profound truth.
