God guarantees we are part of His people through sovereign election and the redemptive work of Christ, ensuring that those chosen will willingly come to Him.
God's guarantee of incorporating us into His people is rooted in His sovereign election and the sacrificial work of Jesus Christ. According to Scripture, those who believe are the elect chosen before the foundation of the world. Christ's redemption is designed for His people, those whom the Father gives to Him. The promise in Psalm 110 that 'Thy people shall be willing in the day of Thy power' signifies that God, through the Holy Spirit, will change the hearts of the elect, making them willing and able to respond to His call. Hence, salvation is not based on human initiative but rather on God's sovereign grace and purpose.
