How do we know election is true in the Bible?

Answered in 92 sources

The truth of election is affirmed through various Scripture passages that establish God's sovereignty in choosing certain individuals for salvation (Romans 9:13, Romans 9:18).

The doctrine of election is strongly supported by several biblical passages, particularly in Romans 9:13, where it states, 'Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.' This indicates God's sovereign choice in whom He redeems. Furthermore, Romans 9:18 emphasizes God's sovereignty in hardening hearts and showing mercy as He wills. This reinforces that salvation is not based on human merit or choice but upon the divine will of God. The biblical understanding of election serves as a reminder that our salvation is rooted in God's grace and purpose, not in our own works or decisions.
