What does the Bible say about the predestination of believers?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that believers were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4).

The doctrine of predestination is rooted in the belief that God, in His sovereignty, elected certain individuals for salvation before the creation of the world. Ephesians 1:4 states that 'He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world.' This indicates that God’s plan for salvation is eternal and not a reaction to humanity's sin. The foundation of grace is laid in God's eternal purpose, suggesting that His love for the elect is timeless and unchanging. Acknowledging this truth allows believers to find comfort in God’s unwavering love and sovereign grace throughout their lives.
