We are a chosen race. The chosen race are people who accepted Jesus as their living hope.

Being chosen by God means being destined for everlasting living.
Ephesians 1:4-6(NIV) For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will – to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
Being chosen means that God will do whatever is needed to bring us to Him.
2 Timothy 2:10-13(MSG) Fix this picture firmly in your mind: Jesus, descended from the line of David, raised from the dead. It’s what you’ve heard from me all along. It’s what I’m sitting in jail for right now – but God’s Word isn’t in jail! That’s why I stick it out here – so that everyone God calls will get in on the salvation of Christ in all its glory. This is a sure thing: If we die with him, we’ll live with him; If we stick it out with him, we’ll rule with him; If we turn our backs on him, he’ll turn his back on us; If we give up on him, he does not give up – for there’s no way he can be false to himself.
Because you are chosen, God has shaped history on your behalf. The flow of history will be altered. For the sake of the chosen ones.

Being chosen by God means that Jesus will came back for you.
