How do we know divine election is true?

Answered in 20 sources

Divine election is established through Scripture, demonstrating God's sovereignty in choosing individuals for salvation before the foundation of the world.

The doctrine of divine election is rooted in a sovereign God who chooses certain individuals for salvation according to His will and purpose. Ephesians 1:4-5 states, 'He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself.' This passage reflects God's initiative in the redemption process and underscores the grace bestowed upon His chosen ones. Additionally, Romans 8:29-30 elaborates on the golden chain of salvation, affirming that those whom He foreknew, He predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son. Thus, the biblical narrative consistently testifies to God's sovereign election and His powerful plan for salvation.
