The doctrine of election is affirmed in Scripture, as seen in passages like Ephesians 1:4-5, which states that believers are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world.
The truth of the doctrine of election is substantiated throughout the Bible, with Ephesians 1:4-5 providing a clear statement of God's choosing: 'He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world.' This demonstrates that God's plan for salvation is not a reaction to human decisions but is rooted in His sovereign will and purpose. Additionally, the historical narrative of the plagues in Exodus presents a vivid portrayal of God’s elective love, distinguishing His people from others through acts of divine sovereignty. The assurance found in God's election offers believers comfort, knowing their salvation is by His grace and not based on their own merit or will.
