The meaning of Election of Grace in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)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 (II Thessalonians 2:13; Ephesians 1:4; I Peter 1:2; John 13:18).
