How do we know that God's will is for some men to be saved?

Answered in 1 source

Ephesians 1:4-5 reveals that God's saving will is directed toward His chosen people, not every individual without exception.

The understanding of God's saving will is grounded in His sovereign choice. Ephesians 1:4-5 expresses that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, indicating His purposeful predestination of a particular people. This view is supported by the biblical doctrine of election, where it is clear that not all men are elected to salvation. Rather, God has chosen a specific people unto Himself, demonstrating that His will is specific and intentional with regard to salvation. Moreover, the idea that God's saving grace extends to all kinds of men, encompasses various groups, such as kings and common people, showing God's grace in light of His sovereignty.
