God's elect are identified by their faith in Christ and their receiving by God.
In Romans 14, several characteristics identify God's elect, primarily that they are those whom God has received. Paul emphasizes that believers, regardless of their maturity or understanding, are received and accepted by God, showcasing that they belong to Him (Romans 14:3). Additionally, they are held up by God, living for His glory and seeking peace among one another. Their actions and lives ultimately reflect their faith in Christ, as they walk in love and aim to edify their fellow believers. In essence, the true markers of God's elect are their faith, their pursuits of holiness, and their identification with one another in the body of Christ.
