How do we know divine election is true in Scripture?

The doctrine of divine election is a significant theme in Reformed theology, grounded in Scriptures like Romans 9:10-13, where God’s choice of Jacob over Esau is presented as a matter of His sovereign will, performed before their birth and without regard to their actions. This reveals that God’s love and hate are not based on human actions but on His eternal purpose and plan. Similarly, Ephesians 1:4-5 states, 'He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world,' asserting that election is a fundamental aspect of God's redemptive work. This doctrine may be met with resistance, particularly in today’s religious climate that prioritizes human choice over divine sovereignty, but the Bible consistently affirms God's prerogative in salvation.
