Election in the Bible

Summary

The sermon explains the biblical doctrine of election, emphasizing God's sovereign choice to save some sinners by grace while leaving others to their just consequences. It highlights scriptural evidence from both the Old and New Testaments, showing that election is not arbitrary but serves God's higher purposes, including glorifying Jesus Christ. The preacher stresses that election results in the salvation of a great multitude, not just a few, and that true belief and perseverance are marks of the elect. Key passages demonstrate that election is rooted in God's mercy and predestination, not human merit or foreseen faith.
