Why is it significant that Christians are called 'the elect'?

Answered in 1 source

Being called 'the elect' signifies that Christians are chosen by God for salvation and eternal life.

The term 'elect' refers to those whom God has chosen for salvation before the foundation of the world, as seen in Ephesians 1:4. This signifies a profound assurance, highlighting God’s grace and sovereign will in the salvation process. Believers are assured that their salvation is rooted in God’s purpose, not their own merits. The Apostle Paul emphasizes this in Romans 8:33, asserting that due to God’s choice, they cannot be legally charged with sin. Understanding the depth of this election encourages believers to live in light of God’s sovereign grace and to glorify Him in their lives.
