re: “If you put your faith in Jesus for your salvation you are one of the elect.”
But, what assurance do you have that you have “put your faith in Jesus”? You have nothing to do with it, so how do you KNOW that you really have “put your faith in Jesus”?

Because I realize what a miserable sinner I am and look to Jesus for my Salvation, not my own works. Just like Scripture teaches.
**You have nothing to do with it, so how do you KNOW that you really have “put your faith in Jesus”?**
And yet that is how it is, through the power of the Holy Spirit. Praise be to God!
