God's electing love is evident through the sacred Scriptures and the assurance of believers who are preserved in Christ.
The doctrine of God's electing love is firmly rooted in Scripture, particularly in passages like Ephesians 1, which affirms that God chose His people before the foundation of the world. This selection and designation come with God's promises of sanctification and preservation in Christ Jesus. Jesus Himself prayed specifically for those given to Him, as seen in John 17, further affirming that the elect are not part of a random selection but are known and loved by God. Believers' experiences of being kept in faith and the unity among them provide tangible evidence of God's election.
