3 Bible Verses about election, privileges of

The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and with a strong arm led them out of it; and when he supported them about the time of forty years in the wilderness, and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them the inheritance of the land about four hundred and fifty years.

But not as that the word of God has been a failure. For these are not all Israel who are of Israel; neither are the children all the seed of Abraham; but in Isaac shall thy seed be called; that is the children of the flesh the same are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

What then? Israel did not attain that which he was seeking, but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened: as has been written, God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this day.
