Dear Dan;

To me it is enough to say that God chose Israel because it suited his purpose. I believe we can apply scripture that says it was not because of their great works lest they could boast. God chose them because of their faithfulness and also their rebellion as both were needed by God to be an example of the whole world. I have heard many Jews say something like this. The Jews are God's chosen people, but often they wish he might have chosen someone else. They were chosen because Abraham was faithful, because God gave Abraham faith and because knowing the beginning from the end they fulfilled his purpose.

<<If I asked you the reason God chose Israel what would you say? Did Israel fulfill it's purpose? Was Israel chosen for its greatness or because it was the "least" so that God's power might be shown?>>

If we change your question it seems to make sense to me personally. Why did God choose you for salvation? Do you fulfill his purpose? Were you chosen for your greatness or because you are the "least" so that God's power might be shown. Our relationship with God is a kind of Dance. He chooses us because we fit his purposes. We choose him because of our need. Like Abraham and Israel, we are both faithful and rebellious, but God's plan will not be thwarted.

I am in no way an authority on this and am open to correction by yourself or Nancy. I am just speaking off the cuff and look for dialogue. That is how we learn from each other.

In Yeshua's love for you - DLL
