Am I One Of The Elect? Has God Chosen Me?

Another secret reality that belongs to God can be summed up in this question: Am I one of the elect? Has God chosen me? Often when someone is being urged to come to Christ one of the fiery darts the Devil throws at us is this matter, “Am I elect?” Are you standing on the threshold of following Jesus and yet delaying based upon this question? Why pause at such a question rather than respond to the Lord’s invitation to come to Him and have salvation right now?
