The Bible reveals that God has chosen certain individuals for salvation, a doctrine known as the election of grace, found in several scriptural references.
The election of grace, as presented in Scripture, indicates that God chooses certain individuals for salvation based on His sovereign will, not on any foreseen merits. Ephesians 1:4 states, 'He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world.' This emphasizes that God's election occurs before individuals make any choices or actions regarding salvation, highlighting His sovereign authority and grace.
