Election is important because it reflects God's sovereign choice and love for His people.
The doctrine of election emphasizes that God has chosen individuals for salvation before the foundation of the world. Ephesians 1:4 states, 'According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world.' This doctrine is vital as it highlights God's sovereignty in the salvation process and assures believers that nothing can separate them from His love. Election is often misunderstood as being exclusive or non-essential, but it serves as a foundational truth in understanding God’s grace and unconditional love for His people. It reassures believers that their relationship with God is not based on their own decisions or merits, but purely on His sovereign choice.
