How do we know that God has chosen us for salvation?

Answered in 13 sources

The assurance of God's election to salvation is grounded in Scripture, particularly in passages like Ephesians 1:4-5, which affirm that we are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world.

The doctrine of election is a profound aspect of Reformed theology that gives believers assurance of their salvation. Ephesians 1:4-5 states that God has chosen us in Christ before the foundation of the world, illustrating that our salvation is not a result of our own merit but rooted in God's sovereign grace. This election is unconditional, meaning it is not based on foreseen faith or actions but purely on God's mercy and purpose. The repeated references in Scripture to God's selecting a people for Himself, such as the mention of the elect in Isaiah 60, reinforce this truth and encourage believers to trust in God's faithfulness to fulfill His promises.
