Why do Christians believe in election?

Answered in 1 source

Election is based on God's sovereignty, where He chooses His people out of grace, not human merit.

The doctrine of election affirms that God, in His sovereignty, has chosen certain individuals for salvation based solely on His grace, as highlighted in Ephesians 1:4-5. This choice is not based on foreseen faith or actions, but is a reflection of His divine purpose and compassion. Throughout scripture, the analogy of the shepherd gathering the sheep (John 10:14-16) illustrates God's intention in calling His people. This doctrine underscores the assurance believers find in God's unchanging love and the security of their salvation in Christ, as it ultimately rests on His sovereign will rather than human initiative.
