How do we know that election is a biblical doctrine?

Answered in 12 sources

Election is affirmed in the Scriptures as God's sovereign choice, particularly in passages like Ephesians 1:4-5, highlighting His will in salvation.

The doctrine of election is firmly rooted in Scripture, particularly expressed in Ephesians 1:4-5, where Paul teaches that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world. This emphasizes that salvation is grounded in God's sovereign will rather than human decision. The teaching of election underscores God’s authority and grace, illustrating that our salvation is fully dependent on His choice and purpose. Throughout the Bible, we see this theme unfold, as God consistently acts according to His will, choosing specific individuals and groups for His special purposes. Election highlights the overwhelming nature of grace and should encourage believers with the assurance of God’s faithfulness and the security of their salvation.
