What does the Bible say about God's choosing?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that God chooses individuals for salvation, and this choosing is based on His will and purpose.

The doctrine of election is rooted in scripture, particularly in passages like John 13:18, where Jesus states, 'I know whom I have chosen.' This indicates that God's choosing is both intentional and personal. The choosing is not based on foreseen merit but is solely God's sovereign will, and it is done before the foundation of the world according to Ephesians 1:4-5. This highlights the biblical truth that salvation is by grace alone, not by our works or decisions.
