How do we know we are one of God's elect?

Answered in 3 sources

Assurance of being among God's elect is through continual belief in Jesus Christ and the evidence of faith in one's life.

To know if one is part of God's elect, Scripture provides infallible witnesses of assurance rooted in faith. According to 1 John 5:1, 'Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God.' This emphasizes that genuine faith in Christ serves as evidence of being born of God and among the elect. The ongoing struggle against sin, a heart yearning to love God, and a trust in Christ alone further affirm one's status. These experiences reflect the internal witness of the Holy Spirit that assures believers of their place in God's redemptive plan.
