God's hidden ones are His chosen people, concealed in Christ and protected from the world's enmity.
The Bible describes God's people as His hidden ones, indicating a divine election and protection. In Psalm 83:3, they are referred to as 'thy hidden ones,' demonstrating that God has selected a people for Himself, known only to Him. This hiddenness signifies both their security and their separation from the world, as they are alive in Christ and spiritually reborn. They may not be perceived as different by the world until the saving grace of God is revealed in them, confirming their identity as part of His elect, chosen for salvation before the foundation of the world.
