What does the Bible say about God's grace and election?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that God's grace is given to those He has elected for salvation, predestined before the foundation of the world.
Scripture emphasizes that grace is always directed toward those whom God has elected. In Ephesians 1:4-5, it states, 'He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will.' Grace is not random; it travels along the specific path established by God’s sovereign will, ensuring that those chosen for salvation will receive His grace. Thus, grace works in the hearts of those for whom Christ, as our great high priest, has laid down His life, completing the work required for their redemption.
