How do we know that God chooses believers for salvation?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that God chooses His people based on His sovereign will and grace, not on any merit of their own (Deuteronomy 7:6).
The doctrine of election is foundational in understanding salvation in sovereign grace theology. According to Scripture, God elects individuals not because of anything they have done but purely out of His sovereign will and purpose. Deuteronomy 7:6 emphasizes that Israel was chosen as a special people above all others by God's decree. This belief maintains that human responsibility and God's sovereignty work together, where God's choice of the elect is made in perfect righteousness. Throughout the Scriptures, it is clear that God’s choice is an act of grace, and believers should find comfort in the fact that their salvation is rooted in God's sovereign plan rather than their own capacities or merits.
