1 | Please Explain Gods Chosen People! | Romans | Believer 1 | 227794 | ||
If the jews are Gods chosen people,then why do they not believe that Jesus was the christ in Judaism? Is it because Jesus was a jew? If they are the chosen people and they go only by the torah and 10 commandments? Does this mean they are not to inherit the kingdom of God?Php 2:9-11! | ||||||

As Paul makes clear the Jews are not God's chosen people. God's chosen people are the elect whom He has chosen (Romans 9.6). See Paul's whole argument in Romans 9-11. In His covenant God called the people who had come out of Egypt, many of whom were foreigners (Exodus 12.38) to respond to the covenant. Those who did so would be blessed (and prove themselves elect), those who did not do so would be cursed (Deuteronomy 27-28). Their whole subsequent history demonstrates this. When the promised Messiah came the true Jews believed on Him. The remainder were accursed (Romans 11.3). Thus Jesus established the true Israel (not a replacement Israel) made up initially only of Jews (John 15.1-6; Matthew 21.43). Later Gentile proselytes were incorporated into Israel (as they had always been). The difference was that they were not required to be circumcised because they had already been circumcised through participation in the death of the Messiah (Colssians 2.11 ff). Thus it is now believers in the Messiah who are genuinely the true Israel (1 Peter 2.9; Ephesians 2.11 ff) based on the foundation of the the initial true Jewish believers in the Messiah. Jews who do not believe in and respond to the Messiah are thereby accursed. | ||||||
