God's grace is discriminating as evidenced by His sovereign choice in salvation, not based on human efforts.
The discriminating nature of God's grace can be seen through biblical examples and doctrines, particularly in Romans 9 where God declares, 'Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.' This verse indicates that His choice is not based on any inherent goodness in Jacob or wickedness in Esau, but solely according to His will and purpose. Likewise, the distinction God made between the Israelites and Egyptians during the plagues illustrates His ability to set apart those He chooses to show mercy to. Ultimately, grace, by definition, is undeserved favor, negating any basis for human boasting or self-righteousness, revealing the depth of God's love for His chosen ones.
