How do we know God has chosen his people for salvation?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible assures believers of God's choice through texts like Ephesians 1:4, which declares we are chosen in Christ.
Scripture explicitly states that God has chosen His people for salvation before the foundation of the world. Ephesians 1:4 says, 'according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world.' This act of divine election emphasizes God's sovereignty in salvation. The doctrine of election is central to understanding God's redemptive plan, ensuring that salvation is not based on human merit but solely on God's grace and purpose. Moreover, God assures believers of their calling and sufficiency in Christ, highlighting the relational aspect of His election that leads to faith and trust in Him.
