How does God's election relate to amazing grace?

The doctrine of election asserts that God, in His sovereign will, chose certain individuals for salvation before the foundation of the world, as seen in Ephesians 1:4-5. This aligns with the concept of amazing grace because it clarifies that grace is not extended to everyone universally but is specially appointed for those whom God has set apart. As noted by Paul Pendleton, if election is denied, it undermines the assurance that God's grace uniquely secures the believer’s salvation, ensuring that it is He who initiates and completes the work of salvation. This reinforces the understanding that grace is an act of God's will and not dependent on human choice.
