How do we know that God chooses some people for salvation?
Answered in 1 source
God's choice in salvation is evident in His sovereignty, as affirmed in Romans 9:11-13, which states He chooses individuals not based on their actions or worthiness.
The doctrine of election informs us that God's choice is based on His sovereign grace rather than on human merit. In Romans 9:11-13, it is made clear that 'the children being not yet born, neither having done good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth.' God chooses whom He wants to save to manifest His mercy and purpose, untouched by human actions or decisions. This illustrates that salvation is completely dependent on God, revealing His divine will and purpose throughout history.
