How do we know the Bible's message is for the elect?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible's message is explicitly directed to the elect, as shown in how God communicates and protects His people throughout Scripture.

The Bible, from the Old Testament to the New Testament, repeatedly emphasizes that God's truth is accessible only to His chosen ones, the elect. In Esther, the message of hope sent to the Jews signifies that the Word of God is specifically crafted for those who belong to Him. As we reflect on examples throughout Scripture, we see that the gospel is an everlasting blessing that is preached specifically to God's people. For instance, the good news exemplified in Esther also finds parallels in 1 Peter, where it affirms the enduring nature of God's Word for believers. Thus, the spiritual truth revealed through the scriptures is preserved for the elect who are awakened by the Holy Spirit.
