How do we know that the elect are not appointed to wrath?

Answered in 1 source

1 Thessalonians 5:9 states explicitly that God has not appointed the elect to wrath but to obtain salvation through Jesus Christ.

The assurance that the elect are not appointed to wrath is derived from 1 Thessalonians 5:9, where Paul confirms, 'For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.' This reflects the doctrine of election, whereby those chosen by God are safeguarded from His wrath due to Christ's atoning work. The distinction between the elect and the rest of humanity emphasizes God's sovereignty and grace in determining salvation, ensuring that believers rest securely in the promise of salvation rather than judgment.
