What do the scriptures say about predestination and our union with Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Predestination is intricately linked to our union with Christ, affirming that we were chosen in Him before creation.

The scriptures clearly link the doctrines of predestination and union with Christ, particularly as seen in Ephesians 1:4, which states that we were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. This predestination is not based on foreseen faith but is grounded in God's sovereign will and purpose. The assurance of being united with Christ from eternity past impacts how we understand God's grace and our identity as His elect. This perspective counters the Arminian view that posits a conditional election based on human choice, instead emphasizing that our union with Christ is a divine act that secures our salvation and calls us to live in the reality of that truth.
