How does God's election of individuals reflect His character?

Answered in 1 source

God's election demonstrates His sovereignty, mercy, and grace, revealing His divine authority in choosing whom to save (Romans 9:15).

The doctrine of election underscores God's supreme sovereignty and mercy. Romans 9:15 illustrates that God declares, 'I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy.' This expression indicates that God's choice of individuals for salvation is rooted in His own sovereign will rather than human merit or foresight. It reveals God's character as gracious and loving, choosing to save a people for Himself despite their unworthiness. In this, we see God's authority as the potter over the clay, forming vessels for honor and for dishonor according to His divine plan (Romans 9:21-23).
