The elect who are already believers know it because the Holy Spirit has touched and changed their hearts to give them faith (or, if you like, to infallibly lead them to choose to have faith). As Charles Spurgeon came to realize, what specifically has God not helped us with in our coming to salvation? God causes us to repent. He causes us to pray. He causes us to ask forgiveness. It is through His empowerment and His Holy Spirit that we are able to do any of this.
