How do we know that those who believe are ordained to eternal life?

Answered in 1 source

Acts 13:48 states that as many as were ordained to eternal life believed, confirming the sovereign grace of God in salvation.

The doctrine of divine election is thoroughly grounded in Scripture, with Acts 13:48 illustrating that belief in the gospel is not a mere act of human will but is ultimately orchestrated by God's sovereign design. The verse explicitly states that those who believed were those ordained to eternal life, showing the connection between God's choosing and the faith that follows. This affirms the Reformed perspective that salvation is entirely a work of God's grace, where He calls His chosen ones to faith in Christ. Additionally, passages such as John 15:16, where Jesus tells His disciples that they have not chosen Him, but He has chosen them, further underline the understanding of God's active role in salvation.
