What does being 'chosen in His grace' mean?

Answered in 1 source

'Chosen in His grace' signifies God's sovereign selection of individuals for salvation, independent of their merit.

'Chosen in His grace' conveys the biblical doctrine of election, which emphasizes that salvation is a gift from God based on His mercy rather than human effort. Ephesians 1:4 states that believers are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, underscoring that this choice is rooted in God’s loving and sovereign will. Such a belief provides assurance to Christians, affirming that their salvation is eternally secure and not based on their performance. God's grace in choosing His people becomes a central theme in understanding the nature of salvation and the believer's relationship with Him.
