Chosen

“Chosen” is a complex theological concept that plays an important part in both the Old Testament and New Testament:

  • In the Old Testament, the verb “to choose” sometimes applies to the choices people make, but mostly it is used for the choices God makes.
  • In the New Testament, Jesus is called the “chosen” Son of God. It is also said of believers that they are “chosen”.
