How do we know that Christ is chosen by God?

Scriptural evidence points clearly to Christ as God's chosen cornerstone. In 1 Peter 2:6, it states, 'Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious.' This indicates that God Himself made the choice of Jesus as central to His redemptive plan. Furthermore, in the context of God's salvific work, the prophets also testify to this choice. Throughout biblical history, God has indicated through prophecies and actions that Christ is the one through whom true righteousness is awarded to His people, establishing the foundation of faith upon which Christians stand.
