How do we know that God chooses His people for salvation?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible states in 2 Thessalonians 2:13 that God has chosen some for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit.
Scripture provides clear testimony that God chooses individuals for salvation. In 2 Thessalonians 2:13, Paul affirms that God has selected believers from the beginning to salvation through the work of the Spirit. This selection process involves God sanctifying His people, which means setting them apart for His purpose. The spiritual regeneration initiated by the Holy Spirit empowers them to believe in the truth of the gospel. Therefore, our salvation is not dependent on our own efforts but solely on God's sovereign choice, affirming the doctrine of election prevalent in Reformed theology.
