What does the Bible say about the elect and their belief in Christ?

In John 17:20, Jesus specifically prays for those who shall believe in Him through the word of His disciples, indicating a guarantee that the elect will come to faith. This belief is not a random occurrence but is rooted in God's will and grace. It shows the specific purpose of Christ's intercession as it relates to God’s chosen people. The reality is that without God's intervention, no one would choose to believe, as the natural man's inclination is to remain in unbelief due to total depravity originating from Adam's sin.
