How does cleansing from sin relate to election?

Answered in 1 source

Cleansing from sin is the result of God's election and the work of Christ as the Savior of the chosen.

Cleansing from sin directly relates to the doctrine of election as it reveals the nature of God's salvific purpose for His chosen people. As stated in Psalm 65:3, 'As for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away,' this verse reflects God's commitment to cleanse those He has elected. The work of Christ, who was chosen to be the Savior of sinners, effectively purges the sins of His people. Thus, election establishes the foundation for the cleansing provided in Christ; those who are chosen are guaranteed the redemptive work of Jesus, who bears the penalty for their sin.
