How do we know divine election is true?

Answered in 13 sources

Divine election is supported by scripture, particularly Ephesians 1:4-5, which speaks of God's choice of believers before the foundation of the world.

The truth of divine election is rooted in the teachings of scripture, where God’s choice of His people is affirmed throughout the Bible. Ephesians 1:4-5 declares that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless. This reinforces the belief that our election is not based on our actions or decisions but is entirely a result of God's will and purpose. Additionally, the concept of election emphasizes God's sovereign grace, assuring believers that their salvation is secure in Christ, who is the author and finisher of our faith. Hence, the doctrine of election is a central tenet in the Reformed understanding of salvation, illustrating God’s mercy and sovereignty in choosing those whom He would save.
