How do we know that God chooses whom to save?

The sovereignty of God in salvation is affirmed throughout Scripture, particularly in Ephesians 1:4-5, which states that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world. This reflects the doctrine of election, a cornerstone of Reformed theology that emphasizes God's initiative and grace in the salvation process. The sermon elaborates that, through parables like the Sower, Jesus illustrates that not everyone hears the Gospel in a way that leads to understanding and belief. This reinforces the idea that the mysteries of the kingdom are only revealed to the elect, affirming that God’s choice is not based on human merit but solely on His grace and purpose.
