Bible Note: 1 Pet 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. Elect Election, Summary: In both Testaments the Hebrew and Greek words are rendered "elect," "election," "choose," "chosen." In all cases they mean, simply, "chosen," or "to choose"; and are used of both human and divine choices. (1) In the latter use election is: (a) corporate, as of the nation of Israel, or the church Isaiah 45:4 and (b) individual 1 Peter 1:2. (2) Election is according to the foreknowledge of God 1 Peter 1:2 and wholly of grace, apart from human merit ; Romans 9:11 ; 11:5,6. (3) Election proceeds from the divine volition John 15:16. Election is, therefore: (1) The sovereign act of God in grace whereby certain are chosen from among mankind for Himself. John 15:19 . (2) The sovereign act of God whereby certain elect persons are chosen for distinctive service for Him. Luke 6:13 ; Acts 9:15; 1 Corinthians 1:27,28. Bibliography Information Scofield, C.I.
