Personal Confession of Faith, Article V. Election
[If you haven't done so already, please read the introduction HERE.]
I believe that God, before the foundation of the world, for His own glory did elect a great host of men and women to eternal life as an act of free and sovereign grace (Eph 1:4-6; Rev 5:11). This election was in no way dependent upon His foresight of human faith, decision, works, or merit, but of His mere mercy in Christ (Acts 13:48; Rom 4:4-5; 5:6-8; 9:16; Eph 2:9; 2 Tim 1:9)-- in consequence of which choice the elect are called, justified and glorified (Rom 8:29-30).
