How do we know election and predestination are true?

Answered in 15 sources

Election and predestination are affirmed in Scripture, particularly in Ephesians 1:4-5, where Paul states that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world.

The doctrine of election and predestination is clearly articulated in biblical texts such as Ephesians 1:4-5, which indicates that God chose us in Christ before the world was created. This choice reflects God's sovereign will and love, which does not depend on human merit or action but solely on His grace. Furthermore, Romans 8:28-30 reinforces this by showing that those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son. The assurance found in these doctrines provides believers with comfort and security, knowing that their salvation was planned by God Himself, not left to chance or personal effort.
