What does the Bible say about election and the elect?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that Jesus is God's elect, and believers are chosen in Him, as seen in Isaiah 42:1.

Election is a foundational doctrine in the Bible emphasizing God's sovereignty in salvation. Isaiah 42:1 presents Jesus as the elect of God, the one upheld by Him. This election is not arbitrary; it underscores the loving will of God, whereby He chooses individuals for salvation through Christ. Ephesians 1:4-5 further affirms that believers are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, reinforcing the accountability of God's grace and mercy in our salvation.
