How do we know the concept of election is true in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible illustrates election through God's choice of Jacob over Esau before they were born, showcasing His sovereign will.

The doctrine of election is significant in the Reformed tradition, evidenced by biblical instances such as God declaring His love for Jacob and hatred for Esau, which occurred before either had the opportunity to live or make choices. This passage in Genesis exemplifies that God's electing grace is not based on foreseen merit but solely on His purpose and will. The narrative underscores that divine choices are rooted in God's sovereign plan, independent of human action or decision.
