2 Primary Goals of God’s Election of Sinners to Salvation
by: Andrew David Naselli
Understanding the Goal
It’s really helpful to answer the question, What’s the goal of election? because we can better understand what we see if we know what the goal is. For example, I can better understand why men are using dynamite to blow up part of a mountain if I know that their goal is to build a tunnel for a highway through that part of the mountain. If I don’t understand their goal, I don’t understand the reason for the explosions.In a similar way, if we understand God’s goal for election, then we can better understand what happens that leads to that goal. And God has revealed two basic goals for election. The first goal is for God to save us, and the Bible depicts this goal in several ways. I’ll highlight three examples.

God Wants to Save Us

First, in 2 Thessalonians 2:13, Paul thanks God that he chose to save the Thessalonian believers. It says, “We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the firstfruits to be saved.” So election encourages us that God loves us and that our future salvation on judgment day depends on God’s choice, not our effort. God chose us in order to save us.The second example is Ephesians 1:4. Paul praises God because God the Father chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. So one goal of election is that when we stand before God, we will be morally pure and blameless.
The goal of election is for God to save us so that we praise him for his glorious grace.
The third example is Romans 8: “For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son.” So one goal of election is to conform us to the image, likeness, or appearance of God’s Son. The first goal of election is for God to save us. The second goal is for us to praise God’s glorious grace. That’s the ultimate goal of election.
