God's People
For the LORD's portion is His people; Jacob is the place of His inheritance. (Deuteronomy 32:9)
How are they His?
(1) By His own sovereign choice
He chose them, and set His love upon them. This He did apart from any goodness in them, or any goodness which He foresaw in them. He had mercy on whom He would have mercy.
(2) By purchase
He bought and paid for them with the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
(3) By conquest.
He conquered them by His omnipotent love.
Christians are special people.
They are God's people.
They are chosen, purchased, and subdued by God's love through His Son.
