How do we know God predestines people for salvation?

Answered in 3 sources

God's purpose in predestining individuals to salvation is explicitly stated in scripture, particularly in Ephesians 1:4-5.

In Ephesians 1:4-5, Paul states that believers are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, underscoring the doctrine of predestination. This reflects a core tenet of Reformed theology, affirming that God's saving work is initiated by His sovereign will, independent of human action. Throughout the biblical narrative, we see the theme of God's unchanging purpose in salvation—His choice of a people bound by a covenant of grace, as illustrated in 2 Thessalonians 2:13, which emphasizes that believers are chosen for salvation from the beginning. This further reinforces God's sovereignty in the salvation process.
