How do we know that God chooses some for salvation?

Answered in 10 sources

We know God chooses some for salvation through scripture, which asserts that His choice is not based on our works but on His mercy and grace.

Scripture provides clear evidence of God's sovereign choice in salvation, as seen in Romans 9:11, which discusses the twins Jacob and Esau, stating that God's purpose 'according to election' might stand. This passage illustrates that God's election is not conditioned on works but is based solely on His will. Furthermore, Ephesians 1:4 affirms that believers are chosen 'before the foundation of the world,' indicating that God's decisions about salvation were made prior to our existence and independent of our actions, thus highlighting the unmerited nature of His grace.
