A Chosen People
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses the concept of a "chosen people" in the Bible, starting with the children of Israel in the Exodus era who were chosen by God with conditions of obedience. He explains that God deals with human beings collectively, often dealing with entire nations. The author then connects the idea of a chosen people to the early church, which is described as a spiritual race rather than a physical ethnic group with designations once attributed to Israel now attributable to the church. Ultimately, Gregg highlights the importance of community in the Christian faith and encourages believers to work together in bringing forth praise and good works.
