How do we know we are part of 'us' in Isaiah 9:6?

Answered in 1 source

You can know you are part of 'us' in Isaiah 9:6 if you believe in Christ and His redemptive work on your behalf.

'Us' in Isaiah 9:6 refers specifically to God's chosen people for whom Jesus was given as a Savior. This is affirmed by passages such as Ephesians 1:4, which states that God chose us before the foundation of the world. Additionally, Romans 5:8 elaborates that Christ died for us while we were yet sinners, confirming that 'us' encompasses those who are recipients of God's love and grace. To ascertain whether you are part of 'us' is to reflect on your faith in Christ. If you believe in Him as your Savior, this faith is an evidence of God’s choosing and calling. Understanding this assurance is crucial as it emphasizes the sovereignty of God in salvation and highlights that salvation is an unmerited gift bestowed upon His elect.
