How do we know that God elected certain people for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine of election is grounded in scripture, asserting that God chose His people before the foundation of the world based on His sovereign will.

Scripture provides a clear basis for the doctrine of election, showing that God's choice of certain individuals for salvation is not based on foreseen merits or actions but is rooted in His sovereign purpose and grace. Ephesians 1:4-5 affirms that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, emphasizing that this election is entirely attributable to His will. This truth fosters deep security among believers, as their salvation rests in God's unchanging purpose rather than their own fluctuating faithfulness. The assurance found in these biblical teachings encourages believers to trust in the sufficiency of Christ's work and grace rather than their own achievements.
