How do we know we are one of the Lord's people?

Answered in 1 source

We know we are the Lord's through His love and the assurance we receive in faith.

The assurance that one belongs to the Lord is laid out clearly in Scripture. In John 6, the Lord states that 'no one comes to me unless the Father draws him.' This indicates that an essential part of affirming one's status as a child of God comes through feelings of conviction about our sin and our desire to seek Him. Furthermore, our love for others in the faith, as described in 1 John 3:14, provides practical evidence that we have indeed passed from death to life, and thus are truly among God's people. The continued drawing of God, our responses to His blessings and providences, and our growing love for fellow believers function as testimonies of our belonging to Him.
