How do we know God's sovereignty in election is true?
Answered in 2 sources
Scripture consistently affirms God's sovereignty in election, revealing that He chose individuals for salvation before time began.
The truth of God's sovereignty in election stems from clear biblical teaching throughout scripture. For instance, John 15:16 states, 'You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you,' asserting that the initiative in salvation lies with God. Similarly, Ephesians 1:4 emphasizes that God chooses individuals 'before the foundation of the world.' This sovereignty is not limited to Israel alone but encompasses all who come to faith in Christ, as demonstrated in Acts 13:48 where it says, 'As many as were ordained to eternal life believed.' The consistency of this doctrine across various writings of scripture reinforces its truth.
