How do we know that God chooses whom He saves?

Answered in 3 sources

We know that God chooses whom He saves based on scripture passages like Romans 8:29-30 and Ephesians 1:4-5, which affirm His election.

The doctrine of election, as revealed in scripture, underscores that God, in His sovereignty, has chosen certain individuals for salvation before the foundation of the world. In Ephesians 1:4-5, it says, 'He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.' This demonstrates that God's choice is based solely on His grace and purpose, not on any foreseen merit or action on our part. The narrative in Acts 10 illustrates this further, as Cornelius was specifically chosen by God to receive the Gospel through Peter, emphasizing that His decision to save individuals is particular and predestined.
