Deuteronomy 7:6
For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God: Yahweh your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth. (WEB) In the Old Testament, the nation of Israel was the object of our Father's affection. There are many places where we can get an insight of God's Fatherheart not only for Israel, but for us too.
