How does one become one of God's elect?

Answered in 1 source

One becomes one of God's elect by believing in Jesus Christ, which is evidence of being born again.

According to the teachings found in Scripture, particularly in 1 John 5, the evidence of being among God's elect is rooted in belief in Jesus Christ. The Scripture states that 'whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God.' This belief is not self-generated but rather comes as a result of the new birth instigated by God. It emphasizes that those who are truly God's elect will come to understand their sinfulness and their need for a Savior. Their faith in Christ confirms God's sovereign choice and His work of grace in their lives. Thus, the act of believing signifies one's inclusion among the elect, showcasing the interplay between divine sovereignty and human responsibility in salvation.
