How do we know that election and being in Christ is true?

Answered in 1 source

Election is grounded in Scripture, such as Ephesians 1:4, indicating that God choice is based on His sovereign will, not human merit.

The doctrine of election is firmly rooted in the Scriptures, as demonstrated in Ephesians 1:4, which states that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world. This verse emphasizes that election is not contingent upon any actions or foreseen faith of individuals but is a divine initiative directed by God's sovereign will. This understanding assures believers that their inclusion in Christ and the new creation is a result of God's grace alone, supporting the theological tenet that salvation is not based on human effort but on God’s purpose. Ensuring the depth of this truth shields us from misconceptions that make salvation dependent upon human choices.
