We also look at the choosing because of a promise God made to Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. Paul further defines exactly who the promises were ultimately given to about this chosen race, a royal priesthood, and chosen nation that was to come through the promise to Abraham. The promise was ultimately made to Christ. Gal 3:16 Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ. So this also means that God chooses us because of a promise he made to Christ. Our salvation is all God orchestrated from beginning to end because of his choosing and not we ourselves.

Wow you are so lost God has a chosen people from the line of Jacob and his 12 son the tribes of Israel the chosen people and none else

[@BloodCovenant]

@@thurmanavent4640 That is certainly what the Pharisees thought. That is what Paul thought before his conversion. Before meeting Jesus on the road to Damascus, he sought to kill Christians because he thought God's only chosen people were from the 12 tribes.

There are 2 races, believers and nonbelievers. It’s not about color like here on Earth. So, which race are if your from the kingdom of heaven? There is only 1 race in heaven!
