Why did God love the Israelites? Was it because they were special? Was it because it made Him feel good? Was it because they were numerous?
No, God loved them because He loved them. "The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the Lord loved you ..." Deuteronomy 7:7, 8a
Why does God love us? Because we are lovable? No! Because we are special? No! So why does He love us? The only answer I can give is that He loves us because He loves us. That is grace.
