The document discusses the biblical concepts of election, predestination, and God's foreknowledge. It presents several Bible verses that describe how God chose and predestined believers to be saved according to his plan from before the foundation of the world. The verses assert that God saves believers freely through his grace, not because of any merits of their own. Believers are adopted as God's children and heirs through the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit.
