How do we know that God chooses to save certain individuals?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture affirms that God chooses individuals for salvation based on His sovereign will, not human merit.

Ephesians 1:4 states that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world. This indicates that God's election is not based on foreseen faith or actions but is entirely due to His sovereign grace and purpose. Romans 9:16 further clarifies that salvation does not depend on human desire or effort but on God’s mercy. This divine election underscores the power and authority of God in the realm of salvation, demonstrating that those He has chosen will inevitably come to faith through the subsequent work of the Spirit. Understanding this doctrine encourages humility as it acknowledges that salvation is wholly a work of God, not of ourselves.
