Election
Election refers to God’s choosing some individuals out of mass of condemned humanity to receive his grace, fulfill his purposes, and obtain salvation and everlasting life. God chose you before the world was created. Do not misunderstand, God did not chose some people to be saved and some people to be dammed. We are all dammed already. God chose to save some out of all that are depraved, have no good in them and deny him. It is God' sovereign right to choose whom he wills and to dispense his mercy as he wills. God’s elect are considered his children and inherit the blessings of God, and the kingdon of heaven. We are considered God’s children solely because of his grace, according to his will, divine reasoning and purpose, the Elect. God has foreknowledge of the salvation of his elect. Even more, out of his grace and because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, he ensures our salvation, that we would come to know and confess our sins, repent, believe and acquire a saving faith and endure. The important idea here is that God Elected you to be a child of God, to inherit life everlasting in heaven, before you were born and entirely by his grace and love for you and nothing you did or decided in of yourself.
