How do we know that God chooses His people?

Answered in 28 sources

God's choice of His people is evidenced in Romans 9, where it is clarified that not all of Israel are children of God, but only those chosen by divine promise.

Romans 9 makes it abundantly clear that God's election does not rest on physical descent but on His sovereign purpose. As stated, 'not all Israel are of Israel,' indicating that while many descended from Abraham, only those elected according to God's promise are considered His children. This underscores the principle of unconditional election, a core tenet of Reformed theology that asserts God's sovereign choice in salvation is rooted in His love and grace, not human merit.
