What does the Bible say about God's electing grace?
Answered in 6 sources
The Bible teaches that God's electing grace is foundational to salvation, as seen throughout Scripture, particularly in Ephesians 1.
God's electing grace refers to His sovereign choice of certain individuals for salvation before the foundation of the world. Ephesians 1:4-5 clearly states that God chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, indicating that our salvation is not based on our merit but on God’s gracious will. Throughout Genesis, we see examples of God's electing choice, such as His selection of Abel over Cain and Isaac over Ishmael, showcasing that God's grace is not arbitrary but purposeful and intentional. To deny the doctrine of election is to undermine the very Word of God and the glory that is due to Him as the sovereign disposer of grace.
