How do we know that the doctrine of election is true?

The doctrine of election is rooted in the biblical narrative that God, in His sovereignty, chose a people for Himself. Ephesians 1:4-5 clearly indicates that believers are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, emphasizing God's initiative in salvation. Similarly, Romans 8:29-30 speaks of God's foreknowledge and predestination, confirming that those whom He called, He justified and glorified. This doctrine ensures that salvation is entirely dependent on God's grace, not on human effort or merit, reinforcing the principles laid out in the Five Points of Dordrecht.
