How do we know that God makes a distinction between His people and the world?
Answered in 1 source
The distinction is evident in Scripture where God protects His people while executing judgment on others, as seen in the plagues of Egypt.
Psalm 105 recounts the plagues in Egypt, highlighting God's power and His distinction between His people and the Egyptians. The Lord sent these plagues to demonstrate His sovereignty and to show that those who belong to Him are under His divine protection. For example, when darkness fell upon Egypt, the Israelites were spared. This theme is a consistent thread throughout Scripture, illustrating that God actively intervenes in history to protect and deliver His chosen ones while executing judgment on those who oppose Him. This serves to reassure believers of God's control and promises in their lives.
