The doctrine of election is affirmed in Scripture, particularly in instances where God designates individuals for salvation.
Election is a theme throughout the Bible, highlighting God's choice in salvation before the foundation of the world. Ephesians 1:4-5 states that God chose us in Christ before the world's creation, affirming His sovereign grace. Furthermore, Acts 13:48 confirms that 'as many as were ordained to eternal life believed,' showing a direct link between God's electing purpose and the act of faith. This biblical perspective stresses that salvation is God's work, not dependent on human will, but rather rooted in His divine plan and purpose.
