How do we know God has a chosen people?

Answered in 2 sources

Scripture reveals that God designates a particular people for Himself, as seen in Exodus 5:1 and Romans 9.

The concept of a chosen people is integral to understanding God's plan of redemption. In Exodus 5:1, God identifies Israel as 'My people,' demonstrating His particular relationship with them. This is further elucidated in Romans 9, where Paul states that not all offspring of Israel belong to God's promise, reinforcing that God's elect comprise those chosen according to His purpose and grace. Historical context throughout Scripture illustrates that God does not regard everyone equally but has a specific elect group that He redeems and delivers through Christ. This forms a base for every believer’s assurance in God’s sovereign choice.
