Election of Grace @ The Scripture speaks (1) of the election of individuals to office or to honour and privilege, e.g., Abraham, Jacob, Saul, David, Solomon, were all chosen by God for the positions they held; so also were the apostles. (2) There is also an election of nations to special privileges, e.g., the Hebrews Deuteronomy:7:6; Romans:9:4). (3) But in addition there is an election of individuals to eternal life ( 2Thessalonians:2:13; Ephesians:1:4; 1Peter:1:2; John:13:18). The ground of this election to salvation is the good pleasure of God Ephesians:1:5 Ephesians:1:11 Matthew:11:25-26; John:15:16 John:15:19). God claims the right so to do Romans:9:16 Romans:9:21). It is not conditioned on faith or repentance, but is of soverign grace Romans:11:4-6; Ephesians:1:3-6). All that pertain to salvation, the means Ephesians:2:8; 2Thessalonians:2:13) as well as the end, are of God Acts:5:31; 2Timothy:2:25; 1Corinthians:1:30; Ephesians:2:5 Ephesians:2:10). Faith and repentance and all other graces are the exercises of a regenerated soul; and regeneration is God's work, a "new creature." Men are elected "to salvation," "to the adoption of sons," "to be holy and without blame before him in love" ( 2Thessalonians:2:13; Galatians:4:4-5; Ephesians:1:4). The ultimate end of election is the praise of God's grace Ephesians:1:6 Ephesians:1:12). (See PREDESTINATION
