Eternal election is affirmed in Scripture, showing that God's choice of His people occurs before the foundation of the world.
Eternal election is a core teaching of Reformed theology, rooted in passages such as Ephesians 1:4, where it states that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world. This illustrates that God's selection of individuals for salvation is based entirely on His grace and purpose, not on any foreseen merit or decision on their part. Additionally, Romans 8:29-30 supports this doctrine by indicating that those whom God foreknew, He predestined, called, justified, and ultimately glorified. This demonstrates that salvation is a work of God from start to finish, confirming the truth of eternal election.
