How do we know God's electing mercy is true?

Answered in 1 source

God's electing mercy is evidenced in Scripture, showing that His choices are based on His sovereign will and not on human merit.

The doctrine of election is foundational in understanding God's mercy and grace. In 1 Samuel 12:20-22, Samuel reassures the people that God will not forsake them for His name's sake, emphasizing His sovereign decision to make them His people. This exemplifies that God's choice is not based on the actions or worthiness of individuals but purely on His goodwill and purpose. Furthermore, in Romans 9:11-13, the contrast between Jacob and Esau highlights that God's election is rooted in His divine will. Recognizing this truth allows believers to embrace the comfort that their salvation is not dependent on their works but on God's sovereign grace.
