God's election is affirmed in scripture, showing that He chooses individuals for salvation out of His sovereign grace, not based on their merit.
The doctrine of election is rooted in biblical theology, where God explicitly states that there are those He has chosen for salvation. Ephesians 1:4-5 highlights this by saying that He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, indicating that salvation is based entirely on God's grace and His sovereign will. Our identity as God's children is not founded on our own actions but on His sovereign choice and the grace that follows. This election is a profound reminder that we are saved by grace, and it provides assurance that our salvation is secure, being rooted in God's eternal purpose.
