How do we know that God saves only some people?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture reveals that God saves a specific people through His sovereign choice and grace.

The doctrine of sovereign grace teaches that God chooses to save certain individuals based on His will and purpose, not based on any foreseen merit in them. Key verses such as John 17:9 show Jesus praying specifically for those the Father has given Him, indicating a distinct group of people. Romans 8:29-30 elaborates on the golden chain of salvation, emphasizing that those whom God foreknew, He predestined, called, justified, and glorified. This illustrates God's decisive action in salvation, underscoring that it is by His grace alone that certain individuals are brought to faith in Christ. The emphasis is on God's sovereign choice to demonstrate mercy and grace to His people.
