Are You One Of God's Chosen People?

"So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace." Romans 11:5 (NIV)

When the Apostle Paul was questioned as to whether God had rejected Israel because they had turned away from Him, Paul reminded them of what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he appealed to God against Israel: "Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me. (1 Kings 18:22) God told him that He had seven thousand believers who had not bowed down to Baal. He had a remnant of believers then in Elijah's day, and He had a remnant of believers in Paul's day.

Today, in spite of the sad state of things in this world, and in spite of all the non-believers there are, as evil as man is, God still has a remnant of believers alive today to spread His word and do His work. By the grace of God, we can be part of the remnant of believers that are working for God today, if we choose to believe.
