How do we know that all believers are ordained unto eternal life?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are identified as those ordained to eternal life, indicated by their faith in the gospel.

The concept of being ordained to eternal life is rooted in Acts 13:48, which states that 'as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.' This supports the sovereign grace belief that faith is a result of being chosen by God rather than a condition for receiving eternal life. Those who believe do so because God has given them life in Christ, as stated in Ephesians 1:4-5, where we see that believers were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. This doctrine assures us that God initiates and accomplishes salvation, thereby preserving His elect through their faith.
