God's election is affirmed through scripture, particularly Romans 8:28-30, which outlines His sovereign purpose in salvation.
God's election is a central tenet of Reformed theology, supported extensively by scripture. Romans 8:28-30 clearly delineates God's sovereign purpose in salvation, where He foreknew, predestined, called, justified, and glorified His elect. This demonstrates that salvation is rooted in God's eternal purposes rather than human will or effort. Further, the assurance that God will accomplish what He has willed reinforces the reality of His election, encouraging believers to trust not in their own works but in the effectiveness of Christ's atonement, which was designed specifically for those whom He has chosen.
