How do we know that election is by God's will?

Answered in 1 source

Election is by God's will as stated in Romans 9:11, which declares that God's purpose in election is not based on human actions but on Him who calls.

The doctrine of election is grounded in multiple scriptural affirmations illustrating that God's choice is based on His purpose and will, rather than human merit or decision. Romans 9:11 explicitly states that the election is by God's will, highlighting that it was determined before the children had done any good or evil. Similarly, 2 Timothy 1:9 claims that God saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works but according to His own purpose and grace given in Christ Jesus. This doctrine affirms that God’s sovereignty is supreme over human choices, reinforcing that our salvation is not an achievement but a result of divine election.
