How do we know that God's elect are called to eternal life?
Answered in 1 source
God's elect are called to eternal life as seen in Ephesians 1:4-5, which affirms that He chose them before the foundation of the world.
The doctrine of election is rooted in Scripture, particularly in Ephesians 1:4-5, where Paul states that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before Him. This sovereign choice is not based on any foreseen merit but solely on God's grace and will. The parables, such as the separation of sheep and goats, illustrate how the elect are recognized by their faith in Christ, their responsiveness to the gospel, and the good works that inevitably flow from a transformed heart. Ultimately, the assurance of salvation for God's elect rests in His unchanging purpose and the redemptive work of Christ.
