God’s sovereign election is affirmed throughout Scripture, asserting that He chooses a people for Himself even before the foundation of the world.
The doctrine of God's sovereign election is foundational to Reformed theology. In the sermon based on Genesis 24, it reflects that the characters are not chosen randomly; rather, God's elect people are appointed by His will and purpose. This is echoed in Romans 8:30, which states, 'Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called.' This emphasizes that God's plan for redemption was established long before we came to know Him, reinforcing the truth that no one will come to Christ unless they are drawn by God’s sovereign grace.
