What does the Bible say about election and being chosen by God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God elects individuals according to His foreknowledge and abundant mercy.

In 1 Peter 1:1-2, it is declared that God's people are elected according to His foreknowledge, with the aim of being sanctified by the Spirit. This underlines the foundational Reformed belief that election is an act of God's sovereign grace, emphasizing that we do not choose God, but He chooses us. The concept of election is prevalent in scripture, reminding believers that it is by God's mercy and grace that they have been called and set apart for His purpose.
