What does it mean that we are his by election and grace?

Answered in 1 source

Being His by election and grace means we are chosen by God for salvation, which we cannot earn or merit.

The concept of being 'His by election and grace' underscores the Reformed understanding of salvation as a sovereign act of God. It emphasizes that believers are chosen not based on foreseen faith or merit, but according to God’s purpose and grace (Ephesians 1:4-5). This doctrine of election is rooted in God's unconditional love and mercy, which He extends to those He saves. As stated in the sermon, we are favored not because of our works, but solely due to His sovereign decision to redeem us. This understanding reassures believers that their salvation is secure, grounded in God’s purpose rather than human effort, leading to a sense of profound gratitude and a motivated response to live for Christ.
