Deuteronomy 7:6 ESV
“For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.
The Israelites are the people of the earth who are chosen by God as His treasured possession. They are holy because He is Holy.
Those in Christ are the people of the kingdom of heaven. We choose God and we are made into His royal priesthood. We are holy because He is Holy.
One is treasured on earth and the other finds their treasure in heaven.
