What does the Bible say about the elect and salvation?

Scripture reveals that God has a remnant, chosen before the foundation of the world, who will be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. This is evident in passages like Ephesians 1:4-5, which states that believers are predestined for adoption as sons through Jesus. The Gospel must be preached to all nations so that those who are chosen will hear it and believe. As Romans 8:28-30 elaborates, those whom God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, guaranteed to be called, justified, and eventually glorified.
