How do we know election is true in light of the crucifixion?

Answered in 1 source

The crucifixion demonstrates the truth of election through God selecting individuals for salvation, as seen in the thief's conversion.

The concept of election is evident in the narrative of the two thieves crucified with Jesus. One was saved, indicating that he was foreknown and elect by God, chosen to be conformed to Christ’s image that very day (Romans 8:29). This event underscores the sovereignty of God in salvation, where His grace is bestowed according to His divine purpose rather than human merit. The thief’s transformation from mocking to believing in Christ exemplifies how God's chosen can experience salvation, teaching us that election is not arbitrary but directed by God's merciful will as seen through Jesus' sacrificial act on the cross.
