Who are God's people according to the Bible?

The Bible defines God's people as those whom He has called, chosen, and redeemed through Christ. Psalm 111:9 reveals that 'He sent redemption unto His people,' referring to a distinct group who have been set apart by God. This concept is further reinforced in Revelation 5:9, where it states that Jesus redeemed people 'out of every kindred, tongue, people, and nation.' God's people are often referred to as His flock, the sheep for whom He, the Good Shepherd, laid down His life. This understanding emphasizes that belonging to God is not based on human decision but on God's sovereign choice, as illustrated in John 15:16 where Jesus says, 'You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you.'
