What does the Bible say about God's electing love?

Answered in 16 sources

The Bible teaches that God's electing love is foundational to salvation, as seen in Matthew 22:14, which states, 'For many are called, but few are chosen.'

The doctrine of God's electing love is fundamental in understanding salvation from a sovereign grace perspective. Scriptures such as Matthew 22:14 affirm that while many hear the call to repentance, only a few are chosen for salvation. This election is not an arbitrary choice but is deeply rooted in God's purpose and plan as revealed in His Word. As affirmed in John 15:16, true believers recognize that they have not chosen God, but rather He has chosen them, demonstrating the grace and sovereignty of God in the redemptive process.
