How do we know God's will is for some to be saved?

Answered in 1 source

God's will is revealed in Ephesians 1:5, showing He predestines individuals according to His good pleasure.

The Scriptures clarify that God's will is not aimed at the salvation of every individual, but rather He predestines those whom He will save. Ephesians 1:5 states, 'Having predestined us according to the good pleasure of His will.' Additionally, Romans 9:15-16 affirms that mercy is shown not according to human desire or effort but according to God's sovereign choice. The will of God plays a crucial role in the salvation of the elect, rather than a generic will for all men to be saved.
