There are passages in both the Old and New Testaments that tell about the elect whom God has called out from the nations of the earth. Perhaps the reason these passages are not emphasized today is that predestination and election were somewhat overemphasized a while back. However, if we are to understand God’s work in the earth, and the Kingdom of God, we have to think clearly about the role of God’s elect, the members of the Body of Christ, the royal priesthood, among the peoples of the earth.
