God's eternal decree is confirmed by Scripture, particularly in Ephesians 1:4-5, which speaks of His prior choice of us in Christ.
The truth of God's eternal decree is found in His Word. Ephesians 1:4-5 tells us that we were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, indicating that His plan predates our existence. This eternal covenant of grace assures us of our identity and place within God's family. Additionally, God's commitment to His promises is evident throughout Scripture, as He affirms His faithfulness to those He has chosen. In Psalms 89:33, the Lord proclaims His unwavering devotion, stating, 'Nevertheless, my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.'
