How does election relate to the concept of grace in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Election demonstrates God's sovereign grace by choosing individuals for salvation based on His will alone, not human merit.

Sovereign grace election illustrates God's unconditional love and purpose in choosing individuals for salvation entirely apart from any works or merits they may possess. This doctrine emphasizes that God, in His sovereignty, elected a people before the foundation of the world to be conformed to the image of His Son (Romans 8:29). Such election is humbling as it is based solely on God's grace and pleasure. It acknowledges that if salvation were dependent on human effort, none would stand, but because it is rooted in God's choice, the assurance of salvation rests entirely on His character and promise.
