How do we know that God has chosen His elect for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's choice of the elect for salvation is affirmed in Scripture, such as in 2 Thessalonians 2:13.

The doctrine of election is central to Reformed theology, and God's choice of the elect is supported biblically. Paul writes in 2 Thessalonians 2:13 that God has from the beginning chosen believers for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth. This reveals that salvation is rooted in God's sovereign will and grace, rather than human effort or decision. Additionally, passages such as Ephesians 1:4-5 emphasize that believers were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, demonstrating that this divine election is part of God's eternal plan, providing certainty of hope for believers in an age of confusion and apostasy.
