How does God's providence relate to election?

Answered in 1 source

God's providence works in tandem with election, guiding and directing the lives of the elect to fulfill His purposes.

God's providence is the sovereign activity through which He governs all creation and accomplishes His divine purposes, including the election of individuals to salvation. The sermon outlines that God's providence guarantees that the elder will serve the younger, as seen in Jacob's life. This illustrates that God orchestrates events to fulfill His will, making the election known and evident in the lives of His chosen people. Romans 11:5 emphasizes that even in times of spiritual decline, there remains a 'remnant according to the election of grace,' showcasing God's ongoing providential care. Through His providence, God draws, teaches, and sustains His elect in their journey of faith, thereby ensuring that His purpose is fulfilled ultimately in Christ.
