How do we know that only God's elect are saved?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture confirms that only God's elect are ultimately saved, as He has chosen them before the foundation of the world.

The assurance of limited atonement, whereby only the elect are redeemed, is rooted in the Scriptures, including Ephesians 1:4-5, which states that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world. In Acts 27, the narrative of safety amidst turmoil serves as a metaphor for the security of the elect in Christ. Paul affirmed that 'not a hair will fall from the head of any of you,' indicating that God's elect will ultimately be preserved and reach safety, both physically and spiritually. This aligns with the historic Reformed perspective that emphasizes God's decisive choice in salvation, as seen in passages such as 2 Timothy 1:9, which says that God has saved us and called us according to His purpose and grace, given in Christ Jesus before the ages began.
