How do we know that we have received God's grace?

The recognition of God's grace in our lives can often be identified through specific tokens, as discussed in the sermon. Examples include a genuine love for the brethren, as indicated in 1 John 3:14, and an ability to hear and respond to God's Word, which is described in John 10. These signs can serve as evidence that we have truly received God's grace and are part of His covenant community. The change in our desires and affections towards spiritual matters speaks to the transformative power of God's grace in the believer's life, reminding us that such tokens are to be cherished and acknowledged.
