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

Answered in 1 source

Election is depicted in the Bible through God's sovereign choice of His people, particularly seen in the term 'Israel' as representative of the elect.

The concept of election is firmly rooted in Scripture, where 'Israel' is symbolically representative of God's elect, affirming that not all national Israel will be saved, but rather those whom God chooses. Romans 11:26 uses the phrase 'all Israel shall be saved,' indicating a spiritual Israel comprised of those elected unto salvation. This distinction underscores the reality that election is not based on human merit but on God's purposes and grace, reflecting His sovereignty in the salvation process.
