Are The Jews Still Chosen?
Does God still consider the Jews a Chosen people?
The Jews are still the chosen people of God, simply because the Covenant between Abraham and God made that a sure thing. This does not guarantee them salvation, since salvation has been completed in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. God simply invites us to receive what he has provided for us in Christ. Because of their rejection of Christ Jesus as Savior and Messiah (Anointed One - Hebrew - Yeshua Hamachiach) they are still blessed because of their Fathers but 'blessed' is different than 'salvation'. Only as they come to Christ can they receive salvation and eternal life. The prophecy of Daniel and the Book of Revelation speak of a 'remnant' of the Jews in the Last Days that will turn to Christ. Jesus said himself,

Comments: For the original question maybe we need to define what it means to be "chosen" and then we can decide if it applies to them. Certainly the Jews have been chosen for certain things both good and bad.
