How do we know that election is true?

Answered in 11 sources

Election is affirmed in Scripture, revealing that it is God's sovereign choice to save certain individuals, as indicated in Romans 9:10-13.

The truth of election is firmly established in Scripture, particularly in Romans 9:10-13, where Paul discusses God's sovereign choice in electing Jacob over Esau. This passage signifies that God's election is not based on human action or merit but solely on His divine purpose and grace. Moreover, throughout Scripture, particularly in the teachings of Christ, we see the consistent theme of God choosing the elect for salvation, underscoring the doctrine that emphasizes His grace as the sole cause for salvation. It is through this lens that we grasp the profound mystery of God's plan and the assurance of salvation for His chosen people.
