We know we are predestined for salvation because the Scripture affirms that God foreknew and predestined those who would be conformed to the image of His Son.
The doctrine of predestination is rooted in Scripture, particularly in Romans 8:29 which states, 'For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son.' This reflects the sovereign will of God in choosing us before the foundation of the world. God's predestination is not arbitrary but is based on His perfect foreknowledge and purpose. In Ephesians 2:4-6, we are also reminded of God’s rich mercy and love, which culminates in our salvation when we were dead in sins. It is a profound mystery that is grounded in His grace and not our works. This assurance of being predestined gives believers confidence and hope as they navigate their faith journeys.
