How do we know God has elected a people?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture teaches that God has chosen a people for Himself, as evident through passages that affirm His sovereign election.

In Psalm 24:3-4, the psalmist raises the question of who can ascend into the hill of the Lord, and immediately presents the attributes of God's elect—those with clean hands and pure hearts. This is further illuminated in John 15:16, where Jesus states, 'You did not choose me, but I chose you,' highlighting the divine initiative in election. The sovereignty in God's choice is crucial because it underscores that none can earn their status as the elect; it is solely God's action. As Isaiah 64:6 reminds us, our righteousness is like filthy rags, indicating that God’s choice is not based on human merit but upon His own grace and purpose.
