How do we know that God chooses to save some and not others?
Answered in 1 source
We know God chooses to save based on Scripture which teaches His sovereign election and the reality of spiritual blindness in humanity.
The doctrine of election, central to Reformed theology, asserts that God in His sovereignty chooses individuals for salvation based on His will and purpose. This is reflected in Scriptures like Ephesians 1:4-5, which states that God chose us in Him before the foundation of the world. Additionally, the natural state of humanity is one of spiritual blindness, as seen in 2 Corinthians 4:4, which highlights that the god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers. Thus, it is God who sovereignly enables those whom He has chosen to see the light of the Gospel, establishing the foundation for understanding His mercy and grace.
