How do we know God chooses sinners for salvation?

The doctrine of election is clear in Romans 9:11, which indicates that God's purpose according to election stands not based on human works, but on His own calling. Throughout Scripture, such as 2 Timothy 1:9, it’s shown that our salvation is not dependent on our merit but on God’s grace given before the world began. This truth challenges the common belief that God saves those who are inherently good. In fact, as the Apostle Paul states, 'Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners' (1 Timothy 1:15), emphasizing that God’s choice is rooted in His mercy towards the undeserving.
