How does God's election demonstrate His grace?

God's election to save His people is a profound demonstration of His grace. As we see in 1 Samuel 12:22, it pleased the Lord to make His people His own. This act of choosing is without consideration of any actions or virtues in the individual, which eliminates any basis for boasting (Ephesians 2:8-9). Instead, it highlights that salvation is entirely a work of God’s grace, as He selects a people for Himself according to His sovereign purpose. Thus, believers recognize that their standing before God is solely due to His gracious choice.
