What does the Bible say about God's possession of His people?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that God possesses His people from everlasting and has chosen them before the foundation of the world.

In Proverbs 8:22-23, it is stated, 'The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning or ever the earth was.' This emphasizes that God's possession of His people is not a recent act but rather an eternal decree rooted in His covenant of grace. The idea is that from before creation, God lovingly chose and established His people in Christ, affirming their identity as His own.
