How do we know God's election of His people is true?
Answered in 1 source
God's election is confirmed by Scripture, which teaches that He chose a people for Himself before the foundation of the world.
The doctrine of election is grounded in various scripture passages, such as Ephesians 1:4-5, which states that God chose us in Christ 'before the foundation of the world.' This election is not based on any foreseen faith or qualities in us, but on God's sovereign will and purpose. Romans 8:29-30 further illustrates this by outlining the chain of salvation that connects foreknowledge, predestination, calling, justification, and glorification for God's people. It emphasizes that those elected are saved according to God's purpose, ensuring that His promises and plans come to fruition, showing His sovereignty over salvation.
