How do we know predestination and adoption are true?

Answered in 1 source

Predestination and adoption are affirmed through scripture which shows God's eternal plan for salvation.

The truth of predestination and adoption is rooted in what scripture reveals about God’s sovereignty and His redemptive plan. In Romans 8:29-30, Paul speaks of God’s foreknowledge and predestination of believers to be conformed to the image of His Son. This biblical foundation emphasizes that God’s choice was made before the foundation of the world, demonstrating His initiative in our salvation. Furthermore, Ephesians 1:4-5 confirms that we are adopted as His children not based on our own merit but according to His good pleasure. Therefore, these doctrines are deeply embedded in the theological understanding of God’s sovereign grace.
