Who are Gods chosen?

Who are Gods chosen?

To ancient national Israel:
Exodus 19:5-6
Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation…”

How were they to keep his covenant according to Moses?

Deuteronomy 18:15
the Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your fellow Israelites. You must listen to him.

Those who listen to him are the church

To the church:
I Peter 2:9-10
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people

The problem is Zionists of any variety have a lack of understanding when it comes to Covenant.

Ephesians 1:11
In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,

Colossians 3:12
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Ephesians 1:4
For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love. If God chose the church before the creation of the world then the church ois Gods chosen.

The church has not replaced the Jews. The church was chosen before the creation of the world, the church has always been. As Christ is eternal, the church is eternal. As Christ is Gods chosen the church is Gods chosen, As Christ is the seed of Abraham the church is the seed of Abraham. The promise was to Abraham and his seed and not Abraham’s seeds. The one seed is Christ.

The New Covenant is perfect with its mirror image, as God’s covenant with Abraham has a mirror image. As Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son for God, God was willing to sacrifice his son for Abraham.
