What is the Lutheran view of predestination and how does it differ from other Christian perspectives?

The Lutheran view of predestination holds that God has predestined some individuals for salvation based on His grace and not on their own merit. This differs from other Christian perspectives, such as Calvinism, which emphasize God's sovereignty in predestining both salvation and damnation. In contrast, Lutherans believe in the concept of "single predestination," where God predestines some for salvation but does not predestine anyone for damnation.
