How do we know that God has chosen a people for Himself?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible teaches that God has chosen a people for Himself, described as 'My people,' as seen in passages like John 17 and Psalm 110.

Scripture repeatedly affirms that God has a chosen people. In Isaiah 40, God calls them 'My people,' reflecting His everlasting covenant established before the foundation of the world. This divine choice encompasses not just the Israelites but also includes a spiritual lineage that spans all believers in Christ. The Apostle John highlights this in his writings, where Jesus mentions those given to Him by the Father in John 17. This underscores the biblical doctrine of election, where God sovereignly chooses His people, setting them apart from others for His glory and purposes.
