The Doctrine of Election



But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: whereunto He called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ” -II THESSALONIANS 2:13-14 [KJV]
It has been said that election is not salvation and it is not our Savior. Those are true words, but while election is not salvation or the Savior, there is no salvation and there would be no Savior apart from election. The Son of God is said by the Father to be, “mine Elect,” and He is the Savior of “a remnant according to the election of grace” [ROMANS 11:5]. The divine rescue of sinners from the dunghill of iniquity and the raising of them to the heights of glory by Christ and His substitutionary, justice-satisfying death and resurrection is to be traced to the Lord’s eternal, sovereign purpose of grace. Sinners ordained unto salvation were chosen in Christ [EPHESIANS 1:4] before the foundation of the world. When men depart from, cast dispersion upon or speak lightly of the doctrine of God’s electing grace, rest assured they have forsaken the gospel of His sovereign mercy.
