How do we know we are truly elect?

Answered in 1 source

True election can be affirmed through the evidence of a transformed life, characterized by the fruits of the Spirit as outlined in Scripture.

The assurance of one's election is fundamentally rooted in the transformative nature of true faith, which is evidenced by the fruits of the Spirit in a believer's life. As stated in 2 Peter 1, if believers actively cultivate virtues such as knowledge, patience, and charity, it showcases the work of God in them. The Apostle Paul also affirms this in his letters, stating that those who are led by the Spirit of God are indeed children of God. A life that exhibits these spiritual qualities demonstrates that one is called and chosen by God, since these attributes are not born from our own efforts but are the result of God's miraculous work in us.
