What does the Bible teach about election and sanctification?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that God's election is the basis for sanctification, as those chosen by Him are called and preserved in Christ (Jude 1).
In Jude 1, the apostle writes to those 'sanctified by God the Father and preserved in Jesus Christ,' indicating that sanctification is connected to God's sovereign choice in election. This biblical teaching emphasizes that God, in His grace, has chosen a people for Himself, setting them apart for holiness. The doctrine of election asserts that this divine choice is not based on human merit or foreseen faith but is solely an act of God's grace. Consequently, believers are encouraged to understand their identity as elected and called, which assures them of their preservation in Christ and of their ongoing sanctification as they grow in faith and obedience.
