What does the Bible teach about God's electing grace?

The doctrine of election is central to sovereign grace theology and is rooted in scriptural teachings that God chooses individuals for salvation before the foundation of the world. This election is not based on any foreseen merit or action on the part of the individual but is solely an act of God's sovereign will and grace. Verses such as Ephesians 1:4 affirm that God chose us in Christ for adoption as His children. This concept reassures believers of God’s mercy, reinforcing that salvation is a gift, not an achievement, and emphasizes the glory of God's grace in calling sinners to Himself.
