What does it mean to be elect according to the foreknowledge of God?

Answered in 1 source

Being elect means that God chose believers based on His foreknowledge, establishing their ultimate salvation before the foundation of the world.

The concept of being elect according to the foreknowledge of God highlights His sovereign will in salvation. Ephesians 1:4 states that believers were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless. This election is not based on foreseen faith or actions but is rooted in God's gracious choice, as shown in 2 Thessalonians 2:13, where it says His people were chosen for salvation. Thus, this divine election assures believers of their security in Christ, emphasizing that their faith is a result of God’s sovereign work rather than mere human decision.
