We know God's saving intention is true as it is revealed in His Word and fulfills His eternal purpose.
God's saving intention is true as it is grounded in Scripture, where His word assures us of His plans for salvation. Romans 8:28-31 speaks of God working all things for the good of those who love Him, confirming that His redemptive purpose is firmly in place. Furthermore, the doctrine of election, underscored in Ephesians 1:4-5, emphasizes that God chose His people before the foundation of the world, sealing their salvation in His sovereign decree. Thus, God's determination to save is not arbitrary but rooted in His character and promises, effectively leading to the regeneration of the elect through the Holy Spirit.
