I want you to notice what Deuteronomy says about why God chose the people of Israel. Here it is on the screen. The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other people. For you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath he swore to your ancestors that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of pharaoh king of Egypt. So what did Israel do to deserve this rescue? Nothing. It was again an act of grace.
