How do we know God's selection of His people is true?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine of God's sovereign election is affirmed in scripture, especially in Romans 9:13, which states, 'Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.'

The truth of God's sovereign selection is firmly rooted in Scripture, where God asserts His divine prerogative to choose whom He wills. Romans 9:13 illustrates this point clearly, 'Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.' This passage demonstrates that God’s choice is not based on human merit but is entirely according to His purposes. Additionally, Ephesians 1:4-5 speaks of God choosing us in Christ before the foundation of the world for the purpose of adoption as His children. This marks the sovereignty of God in election, underscoring that it is His will and not human effort that secures salvation. Understanding this doctrine helps believers rest in the assurance of God’s unwavering plan and love that transcends all circumstances.
