From the beginning, God has set apart a people for Himself. He chooses not based on human merit but by His divine grace and purpose. Those who walk in obedience and faith are called into His covenant, set apart for His glory.
Being God’s chosen people means more than a title-it is a calling. It comes with the responsibility to live according to His ways, to reflect His light, and to fulfill His purposes. God desires a holy people, dedicated to Him and guided by His truth.
Throughout Scripture, God declares His love for His chosen ones. He promises to be their God, to bless and protect them, and to lead them in righteousness. These verses affirm God’s promise to call His people as His own.
