God's electing love is His sovereign choice to save certain individuals for His glory and grace.
God's electing love is foundational to the gospel message. In Psalm 65:4, the psalmist notes, 'Blessed is the man whom thou choosest.' This reflects the mystery of God’s electing grace, where He chose a people for Himself not based on their merits but solely out of His love and purpose. This election leads to salvation and is intricately linked to the work of Christ, who died for the elect. Through His sovereignty, God draws His chosen ones near and empowers them to fulfill His plans. Understanding this doctrine not only brings comfort but also deepens gratitude in the hearts of the redeemed, knowing their salvation is rooted in God's eternal purpose.
