How do we know that salvation is for the elect?

Answered in 2 sources

Scripture teaches that salvation is limited to the elect, exemplified by God's choice and grace throughout history, clearly depicted in books like Romans and Ephesians.

The notion that salvation is intended for the elect is firmly grounded in scripture, as demonstrated in texts such as Romans 8:28-30 and Ephesians 1:4-5. These verses highlight God's sovereign choice in predestining certain individuals to salvation before the foundation of the world. This doctrine is further supported by the teachings of Jesus, especially in John 10 where He states, 'My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.' This reveals that salvation is not a random occurrence but rather a divine appointment for those whom God has chosen. The understanding of the elect serves to magnify the grace of God and the certainty of His redemptive plan.
