Why did God chose the gentiles?
1 Timothy He wants everyone saved and:
I will provoke you to jealousy by
those who are not a nation,
I will move you to anger by a foolish nation.
But through their [
b]fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation
has come to the Gentiles.
You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.” 20 Well
said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. 22 Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, [
e]goodness, if you continue in
His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. 23 And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who
are natural
branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
Concerning the gospel
they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election
they are beloved for the sake of the fathers.
For [
k]you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many [
l]noble,
are called. 27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28 and the [
m]base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 that no flesh should glory in His presence.
And chosen can simply mean chosen for a task. I saw a video from revival in a city. First the simple ppl got saved and later the smart ones with influence. God uses the ones who are like a kid or just kids to get the smart and proud ones saved too, as long as they're not too proud and evil.
God often uses kids, who easily believe in Him, to get their parents saved too.
