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

Answered in 3 sources

The doctrine of predestination is supported by Scripture, emphasizing God's sovereign choice of His elect before the foundation of the world.

Predestination, a core tenet of sovereign grace theology, is affirmed throughout Scripture, particularly in Ephesians 1:4-5, where Paul states that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world. This doctrine illustrates God's sovereignty in salvation, indicating that it is based not on human merit but solely on God's gracious purpose. The biblical narrative consistently reveals that God's election is part of His divine plan to bring sinners to Himself, demonstrating His grace and mercy. By understanding predestination, believers can fathom the depth of God's love and the assurance provided by His eternal decree, cultivating a spirit of humility and gratitude in light of His unmerited favor.
