How do we know election and predestination are true according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible affirms election and predestination in passages such as Ephesians 1:4, teaching that believers were chosen before the foundation of the world.

Election and predestination are doctrines rooted in the sovereignty of God over salvation. Ephesians 1:4 states that 'He has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world.' This affirms that God, in His infinite wisdom and grace, chose specific individuals to be recipients of His love and salvation. The concept of predestination highlights God's pre-ordained plan where He selects some for salvation, ensuring that they will be holy and without blame before Him. This doctrine is vital because it emphasizes God's control over redemption and underscores His intention to glorify His grace through His chosen people. Scripture consistently supports this, illustrating that salvation is not a result of human effort or decision, but solely the work of God.
