What does the Bible say about the eternal election of believers?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible affirms that believers are chosen by God before the foundation of the world.

The doctrine of eternal election states that God has chosen certain individuals for salvation before the world began, as emphasized in John 17. Jesus acknowledges that those who have come to Him were given to Him by the Father. This election is not based on foreseen faith or actions but is a sovereign choice made by God. Understanding this doctrine is crucial for believers as it emphasizes the grace of God in our salvation and provides comfort and assurance of His unchangeable purpose.
