Isaiah 44:1-2 (ESV Strong's)
1 “But now hear, O Jacob my servant,
Israel whom I have chosen!
2 Thus says the LORD who made you,
who formed you from the womb and will help you:
Fear not, O Jacob my servant,
Jeshurun whom I have chosen.
Israel has been chosen from the womb to be the servant to God in bringing His light into the world. They were predestined for this honor and burden.
The Church is formed after rebirth from above and transforming into the image of Christ. We are not chosen, but called. We choose to receive His life for our own. He welcomes all who will come.
