What does Scripture say about God's chosen people?

In Romans 9:6-8, Paul clarifies that not all natural descendants of Abraham are considered true Israel, but rather, 'the children of the promise are counted for the seed.' This underscores the biblical principle that true believers, whether Jew or Gentile, are God's chosen people through faith in Christ. As Christians, we are grafted into this promise, emphasizing God's sovereign grace in selecting a remnant to embody His people, which is foundational for understanding salvation and communal identity in Christ.
