How do we know that election and predestination are true?
Answered in 5 sources
The doctrine of election is supported by Scripture which teaches that God chooses individuals for salvation according to His sovereign will.
Election and predestination are deeply rooted in the sovereignty of God, where Scripture illustrates that God, in His infinite wisdom, chooses those who will be saved. Romans 8:29-30 discusses how those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son. This highlights that salvation is not a random act but part of God's purposeful plan. The sovereignty of God in election ensures that His grace is not based on our works or merits, but entirely on His divine will, underscoring the beauty of grace in salvation for all who believe.
