God's election is affirmed through scripture, particularly in passages like Romans 8:29-30, which highlight His choice of individuals for salvation before the foundation of the world.
The doctrine of God's election is a cornerstone of Reformed theology, supported by various biblical texts. Romans 8:29-30 explains that those whom God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, thereby ensuring their salvation. Additionally, Ephesians 1:4-5 states that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, establishing that His electing love is grounded in His will and not our merit. This affirms that salvation is a result of God's grace alone, further evidenced through the narrative of Saul’s conversion, where God chose him while he was still a rebel.
