Why do we believe in election and predestination?

Answered in 1 source

Election and predestination are biblical doctrines that affirm God's sovereignty in salvation.

The doctrines of election and predestination are foundational to Reformed theology, rooted in the belief that God, in His sovereignty, chooses individuals for salvation before the foundation of the world. Ephesians 1:4-5 states, 'He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world,' highlighting God's initiative in salvation. This choice is not based on foreseen faith or merit but is solely according to His will and purpose. This truth brings comfort and assurance to believers, as their salvation rests not on their own efforts but on God's sovereign grace. Additionally, Romans 8:29-30 elaborates on the golden chain of redemption, indicating that those whom He predestined, He also called, justified, and glorified.
