How does the doctrine of election relate to God's wrath?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine of election asserts that God chose certain individuals to be saved, meaning they are not appointed to wrath.

The doctrine of election is intricately linked to the understanding of God's wrath, as it establishes that God, in His sovereignty, has chosen certain individuals to receive grace and salvation. According to Romans 9:10-13, God’s choice of Jacob over Esau signifies His sovereign decision that exists before any action or character development occurs in individuals. Thus, the elect, foreordained to mercy, are not appointed to experience the destruction that comes through divine wrath. This doctrine serves as an assurance to believers, emphasizing that their salvation is ultimately grounded in God’s eternal purpose, thereby freeing them from the fate designated for the non-elect.
