What does the Bible say about God's election of Jacob?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that God's election is unconditional, as seen in Romans 9:13, where God says, 'Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.'

The election of Jacob underscores the sovereign grace of God in choosing whom He will save without regard to their works or character. Romans 9:11-13 illustrates that God's love for Jacob and rejection of Esau occurred prior to any deeds done by either of the siblings. This teaches us that God's grace and calling are not based on human merit but on His divine purpose and will.
