God's wisdom in election highlights that He chooses the unworthy, ensuring no one can boast before Him.
The wisdom of God in election is strikingly evident in how He chooses individuals to be saved not based on merit or worthiness, but out of His sovereign grace. In 1 Corinthians 1:26-29, Paul reminds us that God often chooses the foolish and weak to shame the wise and strong. This is a deliberate aspect of God’s wisdom, for it prevents human pride and boasting in salvation. By choosing those who are least expected or undeserving, His grace is magnified, and the truth of our dependency on Him is emphasized. Thus, the doctrine of election reflects both God's wisdom in His choices and His aim to glorify His grace in the salvation of sinners.
