How do we know election and reprobation are true?

Answered in 1 source

The concepts of election and reprobation are evident through Scripture, highlighting God's sovereign choice and purpose in salvation.

Election and reprobation are foundational doctrines of Reformed theology, supported by various Scriptures. The Bible reveals that God, in His sovereignty, chooses certain individuals for salvation (election) while passing over others (reprobation), reflecting His divine will and purpose. Ephesians 1:4-5 states that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, showing that our salvation is not based on our works or decisions but solely on God's grace and purpose. In contrast, Romans 9 discusses vessels of mercy and vessels of wrath, emphasizing God's sovereignty in His choice of whom He redeems and whom He does not. This understanding underscores God's authority and the assurance that His purposes will be accomplished.
