Did God elect a people for salvation?

Scripture highlights the doctrine of election, particularly in passages like Ephesians 1:4-5, which teaches that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world. This election is not based on any foreseen faith or actions of individuals but solely according to His purpose and grace. Romans 8:29-30 further details this process, where those whom God foreknew, He predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son. Such election showcases God's sovereignty and grace in the act of salvation.
