Behold, the Lord esteemeth all flesh in one; he that is righteous is favored of God. But behold, this people had rejected every word of God, and they were ripe in iniquity; and the fulness of the wrath of God was upon them; and the Lord did curse the land against them, and bless it unto our fathers; yea, he did curse it against them unto their destruction, and he did bless it unto our fathers unto their obtaining power over it.
The chosen people may have advantages, but they are not predestined for heaven. Righteous obedience and sincere repentance are the keys to heaven's gate, not our ancestry, our heritage, the color of our skin, or the circumstances of our birth.
