Did God elect specific people for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Yes, the Bible clearly states that God has elected certain individuals for salvation before the foundation of the world.

Election is a foundational doctrine within sovereign grace theology, as seen in John 17:2, where Jesus speaks of giving eternal life to 'as many as thou hast given me.' This theme is echoed in Ephesians 1:4-5, which teaches that believers were chosen in Christ before the world began. God's election is not arbitrary; it is rooted in His eternal purpose, demonstrating both His sovereignty and His love for the specific individuals He chooses to save.
