Who Are God's Chosen People? | with Jared Madden

For many Christians, the phrase God's chosen people seems like an easy question to answer—but is our understanding shaped more by modern theology than by Scripture?In this episode of The Berean Files, we're joined by Jared Madden to examine what the Bible actually teaches about God's covenant people. We explore the relationship between the nation-state of Israel, the promises made to Abraham, the role of the Church, and how Jews and Gentiles are united through faith in Jesus Christ.Along the way, we discuss the rise of dispensational theology, the influence of Christian Zionism, and why these topics deserve careful, Berean-style study. Our goal isn't to promote a political position, but to encourage believers to search the Scriptures and test every tradition against God's Word.Whether you agree with our conclusions or not, we invite you to open your Bible, think critically, and join the conversation.Topics Covered:Who are God's chosen people?The "Israel of God" in the New TestamentJews and Gentiles united in ChristRomans 9–11, Galatians 3, and Ephesians 2Dispensationalism and Christian ZionismThe importance of interpreting Scripture in context"Now these Jews were more noble... for they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so." — Acts 17:11#BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast  #Theology #Scripture #JesusChrist #dispensationalism
