The Biblical teaching of election to salvation is full of comfort, but as Paul acknowledges in Romans (9-11), must be handled with great care for it to have the intended purpose of comforting afflicted and troubled Christians.

In the summary of the 11th article, they take up the teaching in 20 paragraphs. You can read the text here: Formula of Concord, Epitome XI
