What does the Bible say about Hagar as God's elect?

Answered in 1 source

Hagar is seen as a type of God's elect, demonstrating how God rescues His people in their rebellion.

In Genesis 16, Hagar's encounter with the angel of the Lord exemplifies God's grace towards those He calls. The angel finds her in the wilderness, highlighting that God seeks out the lost. Hagar’s situation reflects the broader theme of redemption, as she is a picture of those chosen by God, illustrating His mercy in rescuing vessels of mercy from despair and sin. Though the text leaves Hagar's spiritual state ambiguous, it emphasizes God's initiative in seeking and saving His people.
