How does a person know if they are one of the elect?

The doctrine of election within the sovereign grace theology teaches that God has chosen certain individuals for salvation before the foundation of the world, as stated in Ephesians 1:4-5. However, the question of how one can know if they are among the elect is addressed in their response to the Gospel. The sermon emphasizes that a genuine desire to come to Christ, a recognition of one’s sinfulness, and the willingness to trust in His finished work are indicators of being chosen by God. As the preacher mentioned, if a person is drawn to the Word of God and seeks mercy from Him, it reflects evidence of the Spirit’s work in their heart. The assurance of election, therefore, is found in faith—if one believes and desires to know God, this serves as confirmation of their elect status.
