How do we understand the electing grace of God?

Answered in 1 source

Electing grace is God's sovereign choice to save certain individuals, as revealed in scripture, foundational to the gospel of grace.

Electing grace refers to God's sovereign decision to choose certain individuals for salvation before the foundation of the world. This doctrine is rooted in passages such as Ephesians 1:4-5, which states that 'He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world.' This means that salvation is not based on human esteem, merit, or foreseen faith but entirely on God's will and purpose. Understanding electing grace encourages believers to recognize the depth of God’s love and mercy, motivating them to share the gospel with urgency and gratitude, knowing that it is God who calls His people into relationship with Him.
