God's purpose of grace is affirmed in Scripture, indicating that all whom He has chosen will come to Him by faith.
The belief in God's purpose of grace is rooted in the reliability of Scripture which declares that those elected will inevitably respond to God’s call. The effectiveness of God’s call is grounded in Christ’s redemptive work and His victory over sin, which has removed all barriers for the elect to come to Him. This means that God’s invitation does not depend on human effort or free will but on His sovereign choice. Romans 8:30 outlines this truth with confidence, asserting that those He predestined, He also called, justified, and glorified. In essence, the unwavering promise of Scripture supports the reality that God's purpose in Christ is certain and unfailing.
