God's choice of His people is affirmed in Scripture, particularly in Christ's atoning work and the eternal covenant.
The assurance of God’s choice is rooted in His sovereign will and purpose, as expressed in His Word. In Ephesians 1:4-5, we read that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world and adopted us as His children according to His good pleasure. This doctrine of divine election is not based on any merit within us but solely on God's sovereign grace. Christ’s sacrificial love further confirms our status as chosen ones, as He gave Himself for the church, redeeming us with His blood and presenting us as holy before the Father. Our identity as the King's daughters is thus a testament to His purposeful and gracious choice.
