What does it mean to be numbered among the people of God?

Answered in 1 source

Being numbered among the people of God signifies being chosen by His sovereign grace and having one's name written in the Lamb's Book of Life (Ephesians 1:4-5).

To be numbered among the people of God means to be recipients of His sovereign grace, marked out for salvation, and counted among those who will inherit eternal life. Ephesians 1:4-5 highlights that believers are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. This signifies a profound identity in Christ, wherein believers are not only part of a collective people but are also known individually by the Lord. Their inclusion in the 'Lamb's Book of Life' foretells their security and assurance in the face of impending judgment. Furthermore, it presents an eternal perspective that transcends earthly concerns, reminding believers of their privileged position as God's special possession.
