What does sovereign grace theology teach about election?

Answered in 1 source

Sovereign grace theology teaches that God elected certain individuals to salvation before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4).

Sovereign grace theology, rooted in biblical teaching, asserts that God's election is not based on foreseen faith or works, but solely on His sovereign will and purpose. Ephesians 1:4 states that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, which underscores the concept of unconditional election. This means that God's choice is not influenced by any merit in the individuals He saves but is entirely a reflection of His grace and benevolence. This doctrine provides believers with assurance that their salvation is firmly grounded in God's eternal plan and promises.
