How do we know that God chooses specific people?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates God's sovereign choice, as seen in Deuteronomy 32:9, where it states, 'For the Lord's portion is His people.'

God's sovereign election is affirmed throughout scripture, including Deuteronomy 32:9, where He declares that His chosen portion is His people. This doctrine emphasizes that God's grace selects individuals for salvation, not based on any foreseen merit, but solely according to His purpose. Reformers highlight that this grace is both unmerited and specific; God actively passes by the masses to elect a particular people for Himself, who He loves and cares for deeply. This doctrine reassures believers that their standing with God is secure, rooted in His divine will and not their own efforts.
