How does election relate to being a saint?

Answered in 1 source

Election is the divine choice by God that sets apart believers as saints before the foundation of the world.

Election is a fundamental doctrine that underpins the status of believers as saints. According to Ephesians 1:4, God chose His people in Christ before the foundation of the world for holiness. This divine election is not based on any foreseen merit or faith but solely on God's sovereign grace. It guarantees that those elected are called, redeemed, and ultimately sanctified, preparing them to reflect His holy character in their lives. Being chosen by God affirms the believer's identity as part of His family, emphasizing the grace through which they are made holy and encouraging them to live in a manner befitting their calling as saints.
