What does the Bible say about being elect according to God's foreknowledge?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that being elect is based on God's foreknowledge and eternal love.

In 1 Peter 1:2, believers are referred to as 'elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father.' This foreknowledge signifies God's eternal decree to choose individuals for salvation based on His sovereign will rather than any foreseen merit in them. It emphasizes grace and the truth that God's love originated before the foundation of the world, underscoring that salvation is entirely a work of God and not of human effort or decision.
