How do we know we are called and chosen by God?

The assurance of being called and chosen by God is revealed through our God-given faith in Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1 underscores that those who believe in Christ have been marked as God's elect. This belief is not a work of human will but is the result of the Holy Spirit's sovereign operation in our hearts. We cannot ascertain our election merely by reflection on our feelings; instead, we look to the evidence of our faith and trust in Christ as witnesses of our calling. God’s gift of faith empowers us to believe, securing our identity as His children through Christ's redemptive work.
