How do we know that God discriminates in favor of His people?
Answered in 1 source
God shows His discriminating grace by distinguishing between His people and the world, as seen in His protection of Goshen during the plagues.
God's discriminating grace is evidenced throughout scripture, particularly in the distinction He makes between His people and others, as demonstrated in Exodus 8:22-23, where He spares the land of Goshen from the plagues affecting Egypt. This act of selective mercy shows that God sets apart His people for His purposes, providing them with protection and blessings in the midst of suffering experienced by the world. This is not a call to arrogance but a confirmation of God's sovereign grace that chooses to save and care for His elect based on His mercy alone, as described in 1 Corinthians 4:7, 'For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive?'
