How do we know that God saves those He ordains to eternal life?

Answered in 1 source

God saves those He ordains to eternal life as those who are chosen will inevitably come to faith.

Acts 13:48 clearly shows that 'as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.' This indicates that God's ordination is the determining factor in salvation. The Reformed perspective teaches that God's sovereignty is active in the process of salvation, and those He has chosen will respond positively to the Gospel. This reflects the belief that faith itself is a gift from God, ensuring that it can never be seen as a mere human decision. This divine orchestration affirms that salvation is a result of God's will, thus encouraging believers to trust in His perfect plan for redemption.
