Galatians. Christians are Gods Elect. You must read in context. The author, Paul, is speaking to the church. He is explaining how the graphted gentiles who hold the testimony of Christ are in fact the Elect. There was a new covenant. The covenant with Israel ended when he came to his own and his own received him not. Many will be saved in the last days once they realize that Jesus WAS THEIR MESSIAH! God has always choosen those who would turn from self and turn to him. Paul writes extensively about this in many of his epistles. Abrahams faith, David’s faith, ect. Christ said, “if you would have believed my father then you would believe me. My father and I are the same.” Christ was God in human form. Allow scripture and scripture only, to define itself and take all of man’s philosophy out of it.
