God's choice is affirmed in Scripture where He selectively chose Israel for mercy, as seen in Exodus 12 and illustrated in Romans 9.
Scripture clearly indicates that God's choice of Israel was an act of sovereign grace. In Exodus 12, only the Israelites were given the instructions for the Passover lamb, signifying God's specific choice to spare them from judgment while condemning others. This distinction is further reinforced in Romans 9, where Paul declares that God's election is based on His own will and purpose, emphasizing that not all Israel is of Israel. Those chosen by God for salvation are depicted as a remnant who receive grace despite their unworthiness, illustrating the concept of divine election throughout biblical history.
