How does God's election make the righteous glad?

Answered in 1 source

God's election makes the righteous glad because it assures them that their salvation is secure and not based on their actions.

The doctrine of election is a source of profound joy for the righteous because it confirms that their salvation is rooted in God's sovereign choice rather than their merit. This understanding fosters humility, as the elect recognize that they have done nothing to deserve such grace. It is a reminder that they are chosen out of God's deep love, granting them a sense of security. Knowing that God has elected them provides reassurance that their salvation is not subject to the fluctuating decisions of man but is firmly anchored in the unchangeable will of God.
