What does the Bible say about being one of His people?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Jesus came to save a particular people chosen by God, not everyone.

The scriptures affirm that Jesus came to save a specific group, referred to as 'His people.' In Matthew 1:21, it is clearly stated that He shall save His people from their sins, indicating that His mission was not aimed at all humanity generically but directed towards those chosen by the Father. This doctrine aligns with the sovereign grace perspective, revealing that God's elect are hand-selected before the foundation of the world, as outlined in passages such as Ephesians 1:4-5.
Scripture References: Matthew 1:21, Ephesians 1:4-5, John 17:2
