How do we know we are among the godly?

The assurance of being among the godly is rooted in the transformative work of God's grace within us. Essentially, we are known not just by our declarations of faith but by the efficacy of God's grace, which leads us to turn away from the paths of the ungodly. This includes a tangible change in behavior, where we no longer walk in sinful patterns and instead embrace a life centered on meditating upon God's law. Such separation from the ungodly is marked by a profound delight in the truth and a desire to embody that truth in our daily lives.
