Tuesday, October 7 | Did God CHOOSE or CREATE Israel?

October 7, 2025 · 31 min

Why did God choose Israel? Abraham wasn’t Jewish or Hebrew—he was a Chaldean from Ur. God created Israel out of nothing. In this episode, we look at how God’s choice of Israel reveals His sovereign grace, His faithfulness to His promises, and His plan to bless all nations through one chosen people. From Abraham’s calling to Paul’s reflection in Romans 9–11, we’ll see that Israel’s story isn’t about privilege, but purpose—the purpose of displaying God’s mercy to the whole world.
