How does God's election relate to sin and redemption?

Answered in 1 source

God's election is part of His sovereign plan to redeem sinners, demonstrating that salvation is not based on individual merit but on His mercy.

The relationship between God's election, sin, and redemption is foundational in Reformed theology. Scripture shows that all humanity is under sin, as stated in Romans 3:23, and that God chooses from among the sinners to effectuate His salvation. This highlights God's grace, as it is not our works that earn salvation but His sovereign choice. Election indicates that, despite the universal nature of sin, God has determined to save a specific people for His glory. Thus, the grace of election assures believers that their salvation is secured not by their efforts but through God's merciful purpose, fulfilling His promise to ransom those enslaved by sin.
