Does God really choose who will be saved?

Answered in 1 source

Yes, Scripture teaches that God chooses those who will be saved according to His sovereign purpose.

The doctrine of divine election posits that God, in His sovereignty, elects certain individuals for salvation. This truth is articulated in Romans 9:11, which states that God's purpose according to election stands independent of human actions. The examples of Jacob and Esau illustrate that God's choice is not based on foreseen good or evil but solely on His will. Thus, the concept of God choosing those whom He will save reinforces the idea of grace as an unearned gift, highlighting the believer's complete dependence on God's mercy. It asserts that salvation is fundamentally an act of God, who has authority over all creation and is not subject to human whims or understanding.
