Scripture supports the doctrine of election, which declares that God chooses individuals for salvation according to His sovereign will, as seen in Ephesians 1:4.
The truth of election is grounded in numerous scriptures that confirm God's sovereign choice of individuals for salvation. Ephesians 1:4 states that God chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, indicating that salvation is not based on human merit but solely on God's will. Another pertinent passage is Romans 9:11-16, which explains that God's selection is not based on works but on His purpose and calling. This view aligns with Reformed theology's emphasis on God’s sovereignty in salvation, contrasting with the idea that election is contingent upon human decision.
