What does it mean to be a chosen generation in Scripture?

Answered in 1 source

A chosen generation refers to God's selection of His people as a special possession intended to proclaim His glory.

In 1 Peter 2:9, believers are described as a chosen generation, indicating that they have been selected by God for a specific purpose—to show forth His praises. This concept echoes God's original covenant with Israel in Exodus 19, where He calls them a 'peculiar treasure.' The distinction here is that the new covenant in Christ reveals that all who believe, regardless of their background, are incorporated into this chosen status, based not on their works but on God's election driven by His love, as revealed in Ephesians 1:4-5, where we are chosen in Him before the foundation of the world.
