What does 'none will perish' mean in relation to God's elect?

Answered in 1 source

'None will perish' emphasizes that all of God's elect will be saved and brought to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).

'None will perish' specifically applies to those whom God has chosen for salvation. This phrase, often misconstrued to suggest a universalist view, is firmly rooted in the context of 2 Peter 3:9, where Peter distinguishes between the scoffers and the elect. The Lord’s assurance that none of His chosen ones will perish reflects His sovereign choice in salvation and the effectiveness of His grace. It highlights the doctrine of election, assuring believers that God actively works to bring His people to faith and repentance, guaranteeing their salvation through Christ's atonement.
