How do we know God's choosing us is true?

Answered in 1 source

God's choosing is based on His sovereign will, as illustrated in Ephesians 1:4-5, where He predestines us for adoption.

The doctrine of predestination is rooted in the sovereign will of God which reflects His grace and purpose. Ephesians 1:4-5 states that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before Him. This choosing is not based on any foreseen merit in us but purely according to His good pleasure. It's important as it emphasizes that our salvation is not a result of our efforts, but rather a sovereign act of grace. Understanding this encourages believers to rest in God's perfect plan and assures them of their position in Christ.
