What does the Bible say about the concept of divine election?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God chooses individuals for salvation according to His sovereign will and purpose, not based on their merits.

Divine election is a critical concept in scripture, emphasizing that God's grace and choice precede any human action or decision. Romans 9:11-13 illustrates this, stating that God's choice of Jacob over Esau was rooted in His sovereign will, not human effort. Ephesians 1:4-5 further reinforces that believers are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, underlining that salvation is fundamentally a work of God's grace rather than human achievement.
