(Part of the Election, Sovereign Grace, Will, Salvation bible study group.)
It is often put forth that
Election is limited only to the Jewish Nation.
That "election" is limited to the Jewish Believers is contrary to the teaching of the Bible. In Holy Scripture we find:
- - "Now
when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as had been appointed to eternal
life believed."
(Acts 13:48)
- - "and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, even us
whom He called,
not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?"
(Romans 9:23-24)
It is obvious, in the light of the teaching of the Bible, this objection is without merit and scriptural foundation! Therefore it has no effect on the validity of the belief in salvation by God's Sovereign Grace & Will, also called the Doctrine of Election.
