God's elect are secured by His grace and called to faith through His sovereign will, as outlined in Romans 8:28-30.
The assurance of salvation for God's elect is fundamentally rooted in God's sovereign choice and His faithfulness. Romans 8:28-30 explains how those whom God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son. This indicates a divine purpose wherein God's elect are not only chosen but also effectively called to faith and ultimately glorified. This process is all of grace and emphasizes that salvation is not dependent on human effort but entirely on God's sovereign will and plan. Accordingly, the elect will demonstrate their faith through their lives, as they are kept by the power of God and will persevere until the end.
