How do we know that God elects individuals for salvation?
Answered in 2 sources
The doctrine of election is plainly taught in Scripture, showing that God chooses individuals for salvation according to His own purpose (Ephesians 1:4-5).
God’s election is a critical aspect of His sovereignty and grace. In Ephesians 1:4-5, we read that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, predestining us to adoption as His children. This demonstrates that salvation is not based on our works or desires but is entirely God's gracious outworking. The sermon highlighted how God can do with His people as He chooses, exemplifying His right to elect or condemn as He sees fit. This doctrine underlines the futility of self-righteousness and emphasizes that our salvation rests entirely in God's initiative and grace.
