We know the elect are saved by grace through the unconditional nature of God's choosing and Christ's sufficient work.
The doctrine of election teaches that God unconditionally chooses certain individuals for salvation, a truth articulated in Ephesians 1:4-5, which tells us that God chose us before the foundation of the world. This choice is based solely on His sovereign grace, not on any merit or decision on our part. Furthermore, the sufficiency of Christ's sacrificial work underscores this doctrine; Jesus' death accomplished redemption for the elect rather than merely making it a possibility for all. This assures the believer that their salvation is secure in Christ, founded on grace and not on human ability or decision-making.
