We know we are saved through evidence of God's calling and the realization of our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior (1 Corinthians 1:9).
The assurance of being saved comes from recognizing that God has called us to be in fellowship with His Son, as outlined in 1 Corinthians 1:9. This calling is accompanied by a personal understanding of our sinful state and the unmerited favor we receive from God. If we have been truly called by God, we will exhibit evidence of spiritual awakening, an awareness of our sinfulness, and an earnest desire for repentance and forgiveness. Through the inner witness of the Holy Spirit and the understanding of our redemption through Christ, we can have assurance of our salvation, which is rooted in God's sovereign grace rather than our own merit.
