How do we know election is true in the case of Abram?
Answered in 1 source
Abram's selection by God serves as a clear example of divine election, demonstrating God's grace in choosing individuals for His purposes.
The doctrine of election is vividly illustrated through Abram's life. In Genesis, it is expressed that God selected Abram as part of His redemptive plan before the foundation of the world. This choice was not based on any merit or foreseen faith from Abram, but solely on God's merciful will. The New Testament reaffirms this principle in Hebrews and Galatians, where it shows how God called him while he was in a state of rebellion and idolatry. The grace extended to Abram showcases the reality of election, where God intervenes in the lives of His people according to His sovereign purpose.
