The Bible teaches that God chooses His elect before the foundation of the world, ensuring their salvation through Christ.
According to Ephesians 1:4-5, God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, predestining us for adoption as sons. This highlights the sovereign grace of God in salvation, emphasizing that our election is not based on our merit but on His purpose and grace. The doctrine of election assures believers that their salvation is rooted in God's eternal plan and His unchanging will. Consequently, the elect are secure in Christ, as Romans 8:28-30 further elucidates God's unbreakable chain of redemption, culminating in glorification for those He called.
