Read Deuteronomy 7:6-8 and answer the following questions: What was Israel chosen to be? (Is their any New Testament scripture that tells us God us chosen us the same way?) Did God chose Israel because they were a large, powerful nation? What were the two reasons God gives for choosing Israel? How does this apply to our lives?

  1. God chose us to be His own special treasure because He loves us and to keep the oath He swore, Deut 7:8. Yep 1 Peter 2:9 tells us that we are "a people for God's own possession"....... who "have received mercy." Thanks Mike
