Who are the elect of God? Well those who interpret the Bible through a dispensational lens will claim that the physical nation of Israel makes up the election. Now if we were still in the Old Testament that would absolutely be true. However the death of Christ not only brought about a new covenant but with it a re-election of God's chosen people. The Bible says in Romans 11 verse 7 what then Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for but the election hath obtained it and the rest were blinded. Now if Israel remained the people of God in the New Testament that verse would make absolutely no sense because it's clearly making the distinction between the two. The truth of the matter is is that the elect of God is no longer made up of a physical nation but a spiritual one based off of their faith in Christ. The apostle Peter when writing to Pontius, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia Gentile nations states that they are the elect according to the foreknowledge of God through the sanctification of the spirit until obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ referring to saved people.
