This group, this corporation, or this special people are to be the means of bringing salvation to everyone else in the world. Now who were His people? His people were the people of Israel, and He called them first through Abraham, and He governed them through Moses; He ruled them through the judges and the kings; He threatened, pleaded, and coaxed; He warned, and He loved through the prophets.

In His own words, God says in the book of Exodus, “You shall be my peculiar possession above all people.
