Am I One of God's Elect?

"We need not ascend up to heaven to search the rolls of the eternal counsels.  All whom the Father hath given to Christ shall come to Christ; and not only receive Him as Priest, but give themselves up to be ruled and quickened by Him (as Lord).  By such a receiving of Christ we shall know whether we are of the number of those that are given to Christ." 
-Matthew Poole

"We are never told to wonder whether we are elect of not: we are instead told to believe in Christ to receive eternal life,
and then we are told that believers
are those chosen in eternity by
God to be given
to His Son. 
We know our
election not be peering
in God's inaccessible Book of Life
but by believing in the Lord Jesus
Christ."
- Richard Phillips
