What does the Bible say about being a chosen race?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that believers are a chosen race, signifying that they are set apart by God for a special purpose.

In 1 Peter 2:9, we read that believers are referred to as a chosen race, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation. This language indicates a significant identity change for those who believe in Christ. Originally, they were not a people, but now they are God's people, called to proclaim His excellencies. This chosen identity reflects God's sovereign grace, underscoring that it is not based on any merit of our own but purely on God's electing love.
