What does the Bible say about God's election and mercy?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God chose some for salvation based on His own purpose and grace, highlighting His mercy.

Scripture reveals that God's election is rooted in His sovereign will and grace. Paul states in 2 Timothy 1:9 that God 'hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.' This underscores that God's decision to save is not based on our merits but solely on His mercy. As Ezekiel 16 illustrates, God's grace is vividly portrayed in the imagery of Him choosing the unwanted and unclean, reflecting His character as a loving redeemer who sees the helpless condition of humanity and intervenes.
