How do we know that salvation is for whom God desires?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is ultimately determined by God's sovereign choice, as shown in the narrative of David and Mephibosheth's relationship.

The story of David and Mephibosheth illustrates that salvation is not based on human merit but solely on God's purpose and will. David sought out Mephibosheth to show him kindness for Jonathan's sake, illustrating that one's standing is a result of the covenant made, not personal righteousness. This reflects the biblical principle that God will have mercy on whom He wills (Romans 9:15). Therefore, the selection of who is saved rests in the sovereign will of God, emphasizing His grace and mercy.
