How do we know election is true in the context of condemnation?

The doctrine of election is intricately linked with the concept of condemnation as expressed in Romans 9. The passage illustrates that God's choice to love Jacob and hate Esau demonstrates His sovereign will in matters of salvation and judgment. Paul argues strongly against the idea that God could be unjustal, stating that He has mercy on whom He chooses. This underscores the reality that condemnation is not arbitrary but rooted in God's election and purpose. Those who do not come to believe in Christ are held accountable for their rejection, affirming God's justice in dealing with sin (Romans 9:11-15).
