What does the Bible say about election and the apostles?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible illustrates election through the inner circle of the apostles, particularly Peter, James, and John, showing God's sovereign choice.

The New Testament highlights the concept of election through the selection of the apostles, particularly the three individuals within the twelve: Peter, James, and John. In Matthew 4:18-21, Jesus chooses these disciples, demonstrating His sovereign authority to select whom He wills. This example of 'inner circle' election reflects God's prerogative in His divine purposes and shows that He can choose some for specific roles and privileges within His kingdom.
