History of the Word “Election”
The early Biblical understanding of the word “election” had its roots in the word “elect”, referring to being the “elect” of God, in other words, virtuous.
“Elections were designed by these Americans in the early era for a virtuous people to help identify who amongst them are more virtuous. Who are those who are most likely to be among the elect, those who are the most likely to be saved.” Dr. Donald Lutz, Political Science Professor, University of Houston
