How do we know God chooses who is saved?

Answered in 3 sources

The doctrine of election is rooted in Scripture, indicating that God chooses whom to save based on His grace, not human merit.

Throughout the Bible, we see the principle of God's sovereign election, particularly in Romans 9, where God says, 'I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy.' This clearly shows God's authority in deciding who receives mercy and grace, independent of human actions. The assertion in Ephesians 2:1 that we were dead in our trespasses reinforces the idea that without God's initiative, no one would be capable of seeking Him. Salvation is according to God's purpose, as emphasized in 2 Timothy 1:9, confirming that it is given to those chosen before the foundation of the world.
