What does the Bible say about the election and reprobation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God's election is the sovereign choice of certain individuals for salvation, while others are passed over for damnation, as clearly articulated in Romans 9.

In Romans 9, the Apostle Paul discusses the doctrine of election in which he highlights that not all who are physically descended from Abraham are considered children of God. Instead, it's the children of the promise who are counted as the seed. This serves to demonstrate that God's purpose in salvation rests not on human merit or will but solely on His sovereign mercy. The passage further emphasizes that God's choice is not based on any foreseen actions or qualities of individuals, which affirms the traditional Reformed view that predestination is an act of God's grace and will alone.
