What does the Bible say about God's election?

Answered in 20 sources

The Bible clearly states that God chooses a people for Himself, as seen in passages like 1 Corinthians 1:27, highlighting His choice of the weak and despised.

In Scripture, God's election is a profound theme that emphasizes His sovereignty and grace. In 1 Corinthians 1:27-29, it is written that God has chosen the foolish and weak things of the world to shame the wise and the strong. This illustrates that God's choice is not based on human merit or excellence but upon His divine will and purpose. Ephesians 1:4-5 further expounds on this by affirming that believers were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, underscoring the idea that election is rooted in God's eternal plan and loving intention to save a people for Himself.
