people of God

The chosen believers

People of God refers to a community believed to have a special relationship with the divine—most often Israel in the Hebrew Bible or Christians in the New Testament.

The phrase emphasizes collective identity and covenant: We are the people of God, called to serve.

It appears frequently in religious contexts to distinguish believers from the broader world, though different traditions claim the designation for themselves.
