How do we know that the doctrine of election is true?

Answered in 4 sources

The doctrine of election is affirmed by Scripture, revealing God's sovereign choice in salvation before the foundation of the world.

The doctrine of election is deeply rooted in the biblical narrative, as seen in passages such as Ephesians 1:4-5, where Paul explains that God chose believers in Christ before the world's foundation. This act of divine sovereignty underscores God's grace, assuring believers that their salvation is not based on personal merit but entirely on God's will. Furthermore, Romans 8:29-30 highlights the chain of salvation - those whom God predestined, He also called, justified, and glorified. The historical creeds of the Reformed tradition affirm this doctrine as integral to understanding God's redemptive plan, illustrating His love and purpose for His chosen people.
