What does the Bible say about God's chosen people?
Answered in 39 sources
The Bible teaches that God's chosen people are not limited to a specific nationality but are those hidden in Christ from before the foundation of the world.
According to Scripture, God's chosen people encompass those who are redeemed by Christ, not merely the physical descendants of Abraham. In Galatians 3:29, Paul states that if we belong to Christ, then we are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise. This signifies a spiritual lineage that transcends earthly bounds, as Paul clarifies that not all who are of Israel are Israel. The true children of God are those chosen in Christ, who are part of a spiritual kingdom born of promise, rather than of flesh.
