How does God's election relate to salvation?

The doctrine of election asserts that before the foundation of the world, God chose certain individuals to be recipients of His grace and salvation. This choice is not based on foreseen merit or actions, but solely on God's will and purpose. As the sermon illustrates, the Apostle Paul’s conversion was not a result of his will or desire, but rather God’s sovereign decree to reveal His Son in him. This belief underscores the absolute sovereignty of God in the matters of salvation, ensuring that those He elects will indeed come to faith and be saved, highlighting His grace and mercy.
