i. God chose the Israelites, Abraham’s descendants, and made a covenant with them at Mount Sinai.
ii. If they obeyed God’s commandments, they would be His people and He would be their God.
iii. Israel’s election was due to Yahweh’s love for her forefathers and not because she merited it.
iv. They were a holy nation and had the obligation and responsibility of recognizing only Yahweh as God, by keeping His commandments.
v. Failure to meet this responsibility would bring a more severe punishment on Israel.
vi. The Israelites misunderstood the concept of divine election and became proud and had unfounded assurance in Yahweh’s protection.
vii. God could have chosen any other nation for His self-revelation.
viii. God is active in the history of the nations even though they are not aware that He leads and judges them. He is the God of all nations.
ix. Israelites were called to serve Yahweh rather than to manipulate Him to serve them.
