How do we know Barnabas was chosen by God?

Answered in 1 source

Barnabas' transformation and mission underscore God's sovereign choice, reflecting His grace and purpose.

Barnabas is described as a man chosen by God, not by his own effort but by God's sovereign will. This reflects the Reformed understanding of election, where believers are chosen by grace, not by their merits. Romans 9:16 emphasizes that salvation is not dependent on human will or effort but on God's mercy. Barnabas was gifted faith and encouraged others in their faith, illustrating that it is God who grants belief in the gospel.
