God's electing love is evident through His unwavering promises and acts of grace towards His chosen people (Ephesians 1:4-5).
The truth of God's electing love is grounded in Scripture, which assures us of His sovereign choice and unchanging purpose. Ephesians 1:4-5 states that God chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, highlighting that His love is not based on our merit but on His grace. This great goodness of electing love, as spoken of by Charles Spurgeon, signifies God's initiative in our salvation. It stresses that His grace precedes our faith and all our responses to Him are rooted in His eternal choice. As we recognize this, we understand the depth of His goodness and our reliance on His loving kindness.
