We can know we are on the Lord's side by recognizing our nakedness before God, needing Christ as our High Priest, and making a public confession of faith.
Knowing whether we are on the Lord's side can be determined through three critical signs. First, those on the Lord's side recognize their spiritual nakedness before God and their need for Christ—acknowledging that without the perfect righteousness of Jesus, they stand condemned. Second, they understand that Jesus serves as their great High Priest, having made a perfect atonement for their sins, highlighting their reliance on His sacrifice rather than their own works. Finally, a public confession of faith is pivotal, as believers are compelled to declare their commitment to Christ among others, demonstrating their allegiance through actions like baptism and continued fellowship with other believers. Each of these aspects reflects a heart transformed by God's grace.
