How can we be assured that God will save some people?
Answered in 1 source
We can be assured of God saving some people because He has sovereignly elected certain individuals for salvation, as declared in scripture.
The assurance of God saving some individuals is rooted in the doctrine of election found throughout Scripture. In John 6:37, Jesus states, 'All that the Father giveth me shall come to me.' This assurance is based on the understanding that God, in His infinite wisdom and sovereignty, has chosen a people for Himself. Ephesians 1:4-5 affirms that believers were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. This divine election provides confidence in preaching the gospel, as we know that God will draw His chosen ones to Himself through the proclamation of His Word. Therefore, believers can confidently share the gospel, trusting in God’s promise that some will respond and be saved.
