How do we know that God saves us before we believe?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture states that God saves us in His eternal purpose, highlighting the truth that our salvation was accomplished before we believed.

In 2 Timothy 1:9, it is declared that God 'saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.' This verse highlights that before we had any faith or took any action, God's sovereign plan of salvation was already in effect, signifying that salvation is grounded in His divine purpose rather than human effort or decision-making. This doctrine encapsulates the essence of God's grace—initiating and completing our salvation independent of our merit.
