What does the Bible say about God's eternal election?
Answered in 1 source
God's eternal election is a foundational truth that shows He chooses certain individuals for salvation based on His sovereign will.
The Bible reveals that God's eternal election for salvation is a sovereign act of love carried out before the foundation of the world. As stated in Ephesians 1:4-5, God chose us in Christ before the creation of the world. This choice is not based on foreseen faith or merit but is entirely grounded in God's grace. The apostle Paul confirms this when he speaks to the Thessalonians, indicating their selection was known to him because the gospel came to them not only in words but also in power and the Holy Spirit (1 Thessalonians 1:4-5). Thus, the assurance of salvation for believers rests in God's eternal and unchanging choice.
