Election refers to God's sovereign choice of certain individuals for salvation.

Election, as noted in Romans 11:5, speaks to God's act of choosing a remnant of people according to His grace. This concept reinforces the sovereignty of God in salvation, emphasizing that it is not based on human merit or works but on His divine will and purpose. The biblical doctrine of election ensures that God’s promises are secure, as He has determined to gather His people despite their sinfulness.
