How do we know that God chooses who is saved?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible reveals God's sovereign choice in salvation, illustrating it through Biblical narratives and doctrinal teachings.

We see throughout Scripture that God's sovereignty plays a central role in salvation. Romans 9:11-16 discusses God’s election of Jacob over Esau before they were born or had done anything good or bad, highlighting that His choices are rooted in His purpose alone. Additionally, the instances of Elijah being sent to the Gentile widow and Naaman the Syrian leper emphasize that God’s mercy and grace extend beyond boundaries established by man, reaffirming that salvation is not due to human effort or righteousness but is purely based on God's sovereign will. These examples serve to illustrate the biblical doctrine that God actively chooses who will be saved according to His purpose.
