How do we know God chose Mary?

Answered in 1 source

God chose Mary as the mother of Christ to fulfill the promise He made regarding the Savior's birth, illustrating His sovereign election.

The choice of Mary to be the mother of Jesus is a profound example of God's sovereign election. Scripture teaches that God predestined certain individuals for His purpose and glory. Just as God selected Mary for this unique honor, so too does He choose His people for salvation. This is highlighted in Luke 1:42 when Elizabeth recognizes Mary with the words, 'Blessed art thou among women.' Mary's selection is not based on her merit or actions but on God's gracious choice. This mirrors the larger theological truth that we are not chosen by God because of our goodness; rather, we are chosen to demonstrate His grace and mercy, further grounding the doctrine of predestination in our understanding of God's dealings with humanity.
