What does scripture say about election and predestination?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture teaches that God elects individuals for salvation based on His mercy, not on their merit.

The doctrine of election is rooted in God's sovereign choice, as expressed in Romans 8:29-30, where God predestines those whom He foreknew to be conformed to the image of His son. This means that election is entirely a work of God's grace and mercy, as seen in Romans 9:11-12, which reveals that God's choices are not made according to human effort or desire. The idea of being vessels of mercy prepared for glory reinforces that election is an act of God’s sovereign grace, ultimately serving to magnify His mercy and justice throughout history, showcasing the glorious truth that salvation is fully a gift from God.
