The certainty of being chosen by God for salvation is rooted in Scripture, affirming His sovereign grace.
The doctrine of election is foundational in sovereign grace theology, which insists that God chose His people before the foundation of the world. Ephesians 1:4-5 speaks directly to this, proclaiming that 'He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.' This underscores God's initiative in our salvation; it is not based on our choice or actions but solely on His grace and purpose. Recognizing God's sovereign choice instills a deep sense of security and gratitude within believers as they realize their identity and purpose are rooted in Christ.
