This concept is deeply rooted in the biblical narrative and theology, reflecting God's sovereign will and grace. The doctrine of election is a significant theme throughout both the Old and New Testaments, highlighting God's initiative in salvation and His divine prerogative in choosing His people. Old Testament Context In the Old Testament, the concept of election is primarily associated with the nation of Israel. God chose Israel to be His special people, a holy nation set apart for His purposes. This election is not based on Israel's merit or size but on God's love and faithfulness to His promises. <a href="/deuteronomy/7-6.htm">Deuteronomy 7:6-8</a> states, "For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for His prized possession, above all peoples on the face of the earth. The LORD did not set His affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the LORD loved you and kept the oath He swore to your fathers." The election of individuals is also evident in the Old Testament. Figures such as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David were chosen by God for specific roles in His redemptive plan. Their election was instrumental in the unfolding of God's covenantal promises. New Testament Context In the New Testament, the concept of election expands to include the Church, composed of both Jews and Gentiles. The elect are those who have been chosen by God for salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. This election is rooted in God's foreknowledge and grace, as seen in passages like <a href="/ephesians/1-4.htm">Ephesians 1:4-5</a> : "For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence. In love He predestined us for adoption as His sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will." The Apostle Paul frequently addresses the theme of election in his epistles, emphasizing that it is by God's grace and not by human works. <a href="/romans/8-33.htm">Romans 8:33</a> asks, "Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies." This underscores the security and assurance of those who are chosen by God. Theological Implications The doctrine of election raises important theological questions about God's sovereignty, human responsibility, and the nature of salvation. While the Bible affirms God's sovereign choice, it also calls individuals to respond in faith and obedience. The tension between divine election and human free will is a mystery that has been the subject of much theological reflection and debate. Election is ultimately an expression of God's grace and mercy. It highlights the initiative of God in the salvation process, ensuring that salvation is entirely a work of God from beginning to end. As such, it is a source of comfort and assurance for believers, affirming that their salvation is secure in God's eternal purpose.

In the Old Testament the word represents derivatives of bachar, elegit; In the New Testament eklektos. It means properly an object or objects of selection. This primary meaning sometimes passes into that of "eminent," "valuable," "choice"; often thus as a fact, in places where the King James Version uses "chosen" (or "elect") to translate the original (eg. <a href="/isaiah/42-1.htm">Isaiah 42:1</a> <a href="/1_peter/2-6.htm">1 Peter 2:6</a>). In the King James Version "elect" (or "chosen") is used of Israel as the race selected for special favor and to be the special vehicle of Divine purposes (so 4 times in Apocrypha, Tobit and Ecclus); of the great Servant of Yahweh (compare <a href="/luke/23-35.htm">Luke 23:35</a>; the "Christ of God, his chosen"); compare eminent saints as Jacob, Moses, Rufus (<a href="/romans/16-13.htm">Romans 16:13</a>); "the lady," and her "sister" of 2 Jn; of the holy angels (<a href="/1_timothy/5-21.htm">1 Timothy 5:21</a>); with a possible suggestion of the lapse of other angels. Otherwise, and prevalently in the New Testament, it denotes a human community, also described as believers, saints, the Israel of God; regarded as in some sense selected by Him from among men, objects of His special favor, and correspondingly called to special holiness and service. See further under ELECTION. In the English versions "elect" is not used as a verb: "to choose" is preferred; eg. <a href="/mark/13-20.htm">Mark 13:20</a> <a href="/ephesians/1-4.htm">Ephesians 1:4</a>. Handley DunelmELECT LADYe-lekt' la'-di (eklekte kuria; 2 <a href="/john/1-1.htm">John 1:1</a>): In accordance with strict grammatical usage these words of address may be translated in three ways: "to an elect lady" (which as an address is too indefinite); or, both words being taken as proper names, "to Eklekte Kuria" (an improbable combination of two very rare names); or "to Eklekte, lady" = anglice, "to the lady (or `Madam') Eklekte." The other translations which have been given-"to the elect lady" or "to the elect Kuria"-are open to objection on account of the omission of the article; but this violation of rule is perhaps not without parallel (compare <a href="/1_peter/1-1.htm">1 Peter 1:1</a>). The translation adopted will partly depend upon whether we regard the epistle as addressed to an individual or to a community. Dr. Rendel Harris believes this question to be settled by the discovery in the papyri of numerous instances which prove that kurios and kuria were used by ancient letter-writers as terms of familiar endearment, applicable to brother, sister, son, wife, or intimate friend of either sex (Expositor, March, 1901; see also Findlay, Fellowship in the Life Eternal, chapter iii). In the light of this suggestion we should naturally translate, "to my (dear) lady Eklekte." Grammatically, this is strongly supported by <a href="/1_timothy/1-2.htm">1 Timothy 1:2</a> and <a href="/2_timothy/1-2.htm">2 Timothy 1:2</a> (Timotheo gnesio. agapeto. tekno = "to Tim othy my true. beloved. child"); and the fact that the name Eklekte has not yet been discovered, though Eklektos has, offers no grave objection. This is the translation favored by Clement of Alexandria, who says of the epistle: scripta vero est ad quandam Babyloniam nomine Electam, significat autem electionem ecclesiae sanctae ("It is written to a certain Babylonian, Electa by name; but it signifies the further election of the holy church"). It seems doubtful whether he means by the last clause that Electa is simply a personification of the church, or a real person whose name was derived from the Christian idea of election. Either way the rendering, "to the lady Electa," is suitable, and upon the whole it seems the best. Eklekte is not an adjective but a noun. If a person is intended, it is "the lady Electa"; if a church, it is designated, not "the elect Lady," but "the lady Elect." The mention of "thy elect sister" in 2 <a href="/john/1-13.htm">John 1:13</a> does not hinder either supposition. See further CYRIA; JOHN, THE EPISTLES OF.
