Reasons: why God has given us the doctrine of election ???

A person told me, that "mean" reason why God has revealed us the doctrine of election, is because it is for the comfort for true believers.

Iam agree with that, but can someone give me more good reasons why God has given us the doctrine of election ?

Two reasons i was thinking of was :
- Comfort for the believers
- Take away the pride of sinfull men

So more ?
