Bible Question: Are the Jews still the chosen people of God? |
Bible Answer: I will tell you that the answer is found in Ephesians 2.14-18; Col. 3.11. These passages say that once the New Alliance has been accomplished, the people of God was no longer a matter of physical nation (as Jews), but of nation that has the faith according its proprer definition. Paul said that the true Jew is the one who has the faith of Abraham (Gal. 3.6-9). I think that many think that God has two peoples (Jews and Gentiles). But that way of seeing things is more a matter of eschatological bias, rather than the simple meaning of Scriptures. Jesus said that there will be two sheep pen, but one flock, one Shepherd (John 10.16). |
