How do we know we belong to the Lord?

Answered in 1 source

We know we belong to the Lord through our grief over sin and our longing to return to Him after failure.

In the sermon, it is illustrated that one of the key indicators of belonging to the Lord is a deep sense of sorrow over sin, akin to Simon Peter's weeping after denying Christ. This profound sorrow signals the work of the Spirit in our hearts, drawing us back to God despite our failures. In John 21, Peter's response to Christ's questioning shows that he sought to reaffirm his love and relationship with the Lord, highlighting that those who truly belong to God have a persistent yearning for Him and a desire to reconcile after lapsing into sin.
