How do we know that election is a true doctrine?

Answered in 6 sources

The doctrine of election is grounded in the biblical text, particularly Ephesians 1:4, which affirms that God chose His people in Christ before the foundation of the world.

The doctrine of election is clearly articulated in Ephesians 1:4, where it states that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world. This signifies that God's election is not based on any foresight of merit or condition within individuals, but solely on His sovereign will and purpose. Moreover, Romans 9:11 reinforces this notion by showing that the choice of Jacob over Esau was made before either had done anything good or evil, thus illustrating that God's purpose in election is according to His calling and not human effort. Servants of Christ preach this doctrine consistently, affirming that it rests on God's grace and not on human merit, highlighting the unconditional nature of God's choice.
