How do we know we are among God's people?

Identifying oneself as part of God's chosen people stems from both acknowledgment of one's sin and faith in the Savior. The Bible clearly outlines that God has chosen sinners to be His people, as seen in 1 Samuel 12:20. When individuals understand their true condition as sinners and recognize Christ's atoning work, they gain assurance that they belong to His flock. John 10:27 affirms, 'My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.' This intimate relationship with Christ is the assurance of belonging, as He reveals Himself to us and we respond in faith.
