What does the Bible say about the salvation of God's elect?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that salvation is entirely God's work and gift to His elect, encompassing planning, purchase, performance, preservation, and perfection.

The Scriptures clearly affirm that salvation is of the Lord. In Revelation 7, the multitude around the throne proclaims, 'Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne and unto the Lamb.' This underscores that salvation is a divine act, orchestrated by God from beginning to end. The prophet Jonah declares, 'Salvation is of the Lord' (Jonah 2:9), a truth that resonates throughout Scripture. Each aspect of salvation—its planning (Ephesians 1:4-5), its purchase (1 Peter 1:18-19), its performance (Philippians 1:6), its preservation (John 10:28-29), and its perfection (Romans 8:30)—is rooted in God's sovereign grace.
