How do we know that unconditional election is true?
Answered in 2 sources
Unconditional election is affirmed by scripture, demonstrating God's sovereign choice of sinners for salvation without any condition on their part.
The doctrine of unconditional election is grounded in the presence and action of God's grace as revealed in scripture. Romans 9:30-33 illustrates that righteousness is attained not by works of the law but through faith in Christ. This reflects God's own choosing of individuals to receive grace, irrespective of their deeds. The apostle Paul articulates this in Ephesians 1:4-5, stating that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, affirming that His election is not based on foreseen merit or actions but solely on His sovereign will. Hence, unconditional election emphasizes God's grace as the sole foundation for our salvation.
