I am just starting to study on the subject of the elect.
Because in some understanding this would mean that some believers are held in a special position that other believers aren't.
And to me there are the scriptures that say there is no difference between Jew or Greek ( gentile ) now, and that God shows no personal favoritism. Yet we still read of the 144,000 that come back with the Lord in Revelation, and as I would love to be one of those 144,000 I know I will not for I am not from one of the twelve Jewish tribes.
