How do we know that predestination is biblical?

Answered in 2 sources

Predestination is affirmed in several key biblical texts, such as Ephesians 1:5 and Romans 8:30, which highlight God's sovereign choice in salvation.

The concept of predestination is explicitly stated in Scripture, affirming that God has predetermined certain individuals for salvation. Ephesians 1:5 indicates that we are predestined for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His will. Furthermore, Romans 8:30 confirms that those whom God predestined are also called, justified, and glorified. These passages substantiate predestination as a biblical doctrine that underscores God's sovereignty in the salvation process. It asserts that before any individual acts, God's choice remains unaltered, showcasing His divine grace independent of human decisions or actions, as expressed in 2 Timothy 1:9, where God’s purpose and grace are emphasized.
