The Bible teaches that God's salvation is a work of grace, chosen before the foundation of the world and secured by Christ for His people.
God's salvation is framed by Scripture as a sovereign act of Almighty God, who has chosen His people in Christ before the foundation of the world, as articulated in passages like Ephesians 1:4 and 2 Thessalonians 2:13. This salvation is not dependent on human works but is a gift of grace, purposed by God and guaranteed by Christ's sacrificial death. The nature of this salvation emphasizes its divine origin and the assurance that, as believers, we will never be cast out, as expressed in John 6:37: 'All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.'
