Romans 10:12

"For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him."
Romans 10:12


This is interesting.  It seems to me like it is saying that we become God's chosen people by choosing HIM, rather than by being born into some special genealogical line.  I mean, of course... it never hurts if your parents have chosen God... it is a lot easier to learn when you have an example.  But it isn't a prerequisite to being chosen of God.  When the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites and chose them as a people, it was a two-way thing.  He would be their God, and they would be his people.  There are obligations on both sides. :)  ... anyway, being "chosen" aside... it is good to know that the Lord is rich to all that call upon him, that his blessings are offered to all people.  We have enough bias and elitism in the world to poison us all.  It is good to know that there is a cure.
