How does election demonstrate God's grace?

Answered in 1 source

Election shows God's grace by illustrating that salvation is based solely on His mercy, not human works.

Election demonstrates God's grace by emphasizing that salvation is entirely of Him and not a result of human effort or merit. Scripture teaches that God, in His infinite mercy, chooses certain individuals to receive salvation, which ensures that grace is free and unearned. This truth reveals the depth of God's love, as seen in His choice of Jacob, a deceitful man, to be an object of His mercy. The undeserving nature of the elect magnifies God's grace, highlighting that it is not about what one brings to the table, but entirely about what God offers through His sovereign will. Thus, election becomes a source of hope and assurance for sinners who may feel unworthy of salvation.
