What does the Bible say about God's choosing individuals?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that God chooses and predestines individuals for salvation according to His will, as seen in Ephesians 1:4-5.
Scripture clearly affirms that God's choice of individuals for salvation is not based on their actions or merits but is rooted in His sovereign will. Ephesians 1:4-5 states that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, predestining us to adoption as His children. This emphasizes divine grace, showing that it is not our free will but God's initiating grace that brings us into relationship with Him. Our salvation is entirely dependent on God's mercy, and this assures us that our acceptance does not fluctuate based on our performance but remains steadfast through His eternal purpose.
