Election is affirmed throughout Scripture, particularly in passages like Romans 11:5-6, emphasizing that God selects individuals for salvation not based on their works but according to His grace.
The doctrine of election is firmly rooted in Scripture, as seen in Romans 11:5-6, which states, "Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace." This supports the notion that God elects individuals based solely on His grace, not on any merit of their own. Additionally, 2 Timothy 1:9 mentions that God "has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace." This reveals that election is not a mere arbitrary choice but is founded on God's sovereign purpose and love, ensuring that our hope rests solely on His divine initiative.
