How do we know that we are part of the congregation of the redeemed?
Answered in 1 source
Being part of the congregation of the redeemed is evidenced by a heartfelt response to God’s mercy and a desire to worship Him.
The assurance of belonging to the congregation of the redeemed comes through acknowledgment of one’s own state as a sinner in need of salvation. In Psalm 107, the different characters portrayed—the wanderer, the fool, the rebel—represent the collective experiences of those redeemed by Christ. The redemption is marked by a heartfelt cry unto the Lord for deliverance and transformation. When believers truly understand their past state and the grace that has been extended to them through faith in Christ, they cannot help but express gratitude through worship, placing themselves in the congregation that exalt God together. This transformation is continually confirmed as believers grow in faith and desire to serve God's purpose.
