1 | God chose Israel first. Why? | Gal 3:14 | Joyce Ong | 82962 | ||
Well, in Deuteronomy and other places, God said of them, "For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession." Israel and Jews are synonymous in my mind. | ||||||

Israel chosen for a fourfold mission. Israel was indeed elect (chosen). But chosen for what? For what? When the word chosen (elect) is used in the Bible, it is not in every case used in connection with salvation. "Israel, so named from the grandson of Abraham, was chosen for a fourfold mission: "(1) To witness to the unity of God in the midst of universal idolatry, Deuteronomy 6:4 ; Isaiah 43:10,12,. "(2) to illustrate to the nations the blessedness of serving the true God, Deuteronomy 33:26-29 ; 1 Chronicles 17:20,21 ; Psalms 144:15. "(3) to receive, preserve, and transmit the Scripture, Deuteronomy 4:5-8; Romans 3:1,2. "(4) to produce, as to His humanity, the Messiah, Genesis 3:15; 12:3; 22:18; 28:10-14; 49:10 ; 2 Samuel 7:12-16 ; Isaiah 7:14; 9:6; Matthew 1:1; Romans 1:3. "According to the prophets, Israel, regathered from all nations, restored to her own land and converted, is yet to have her greatest earthly exaltation and glory. Zechariah 12:8." (Scofield, C.I.

Yes, I agree. For what you wrote shows a great part of God's nature. | ||||||
