How do we know election is true according to the Scriptures?
Answered in 1 source
Scripture affirms election through God's sovereignty in choosing individuals for salvation, as seen in Ephesians 1:4-5 and Romans 9:11-12.
The doctrine of election is a cornerstone of Reformed theology, firmly rooted in the teachings of the Bible. Ephesians 1:4-5 states that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, underscoring His sovereignty in salvation. Similarly, Romans 9:11-12 explains how God's election is not based on foreseen works but rather on His purpose and calling. The Scripture consistently reveals that salvation is not a result of human decision-making but of divine mercy, with God selecting a remnant according to His grace. This truth reassures believers that their faith rests on God's purposeful choice rather than their own efforts.
