How do we know that God has chosen a people for Himself?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible affirms God's sovereign choice of His people, as seen in passages like Exodus 11:7 and Romans 8:28.
The concept of God's sovereign choice is foundational in Reformed theology. Scripture clearly indicates that God distinguishes His chosen people from the world. Exodus 11:7 states that the Lord puts a difference between the Egyptians (unbelievers) and Israel (His chosen people). This theme continues into the New Testament, where Romans 8:28 reassures believers that all things work together for good to those who are called according to His purpose, highlighting God's predetermined plan for His elect. These passages reveal that God's choice is not based on any merit from the individuals but on His sovereign grace and divine purpose.
