How do we know that God elects people for salvation?

Answered in 7 sources

The doctrine of election is supported by scripture, such as Ephesians 1:4-5, which states that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world.

The doctrine of election asserts that God, in His infinite wisdom and mercy, has chosen specific individuals for salvation before the foundation of the world. Ephesians 1:4-5 confirms this by stating that God elected us in Christ to be holy and blameless before Him. This election is rooted in God's grace rather than any foreseen merit on our part, emphasizing His sovereignty in the salvation process. It reminds believers that their salvation is not a result of their own choosing but rather a result of God's divine purpose and love, assuring them of His unchanging promise through all of time.
