What does the Bible say about the election of God's people?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that God chooses His people according to His sovereign will, as seen in passages like Ephesians 1:4-5.

The doctrine of election is grounded in Scripture, emphasizing that God's choice of His people is not based on their merits but solely on His sovereign grace. Ephesians 1:4-5 clearly states that He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, highlighting that God's electing love is an initiative of grace. This reflects the historical Reformed perspective that emphasizes God's sovereignty in salvation and the belief that Christ came specifically to save His elect, the ones chosen before time for His glory. Thus, the election is an essential truth that reinforces God's authority and plan for His creation.
