What does the Bible say about election and redemption?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that election is God's sovereign choice of certain individuals for salvation, while particular redemption refers to Christ's sacrificial work specifically for the elect.
Election, as taught in Scripture, is based on God's foreknowledge and purpose, where He chose certain sinners for salvation before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4). Meanwhile, particular redemption confirms that Jesus Christ died not for all indiscriminately, but specifically for His elect, assuring their salvation by satisfying God's justice (John 10:11, Matthew 1:21). These doctrines highlight the sovereignty of God in salvation and the sufficiency of Christ's work.
