Why is it said that God's goodness is linked to His elect?

The sermon asserts that the favor of God is found in Christ alone and that His elect are the recipients of this favor. In Proverbs 11:27, seeking goodness is equated with procuring favor from God, highlighting that this favor is not something earned but given. The goodness of God encompasses His salvation, mercy, and grace, which He lavishes upon His chosen people. This emphasizes the Reformed understanding of election, where God sovereignly chooses whom He will save, ensuring that His goodness is always directed toward those whom He has called according to His purpose.
