When feeling down, depressed, no where to go. . . Start singing the Hymn- What can wash my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Oh precious, is the flow, that makes me white was snow! No other "way" I know. Nothing but the Blood of Jesus." Repeat, until the love of Jesus flows through you. It's the Blood of Jesus that takes away out pain, doubt, etc. Sing Christian's! Sing!
God is a good God a protecting God which is stated in every part of this scripture,I thank my auntie for introducing it to me at 16 and God for reveling it to me now, He is everything for everyone, and to reap the benefits you have to stay in his will, in his secret place and everything you need he will provide, Thank God for his Mercy He is good to us.

a. Deuteronomy 7:6-8 gives us the most concise & beautiful answer to your question on the "Jews being God's chosen". Simply, because He loved this people (Israel) & would abide with the oath made to their forefathers. In theological terms, we call this "Election". Their lineage (as for all of us) started with Adam & Eve, then after the Flood (i.e. the Anger of God) destroyed the Earth, except for Noah & his family plus animals, the children of Noah then repopulated the Earth. One of his sons, Shem, was the father of many, many others & from one of those, Abraham came & you can follow the story from there to Jacob (Israel). As well, the Jews (Israel) didn't "hate God's teaching", but certainly, they were unfaithful to God many times during their ancestry, even to the point of rejection of God's Messiah, putting Him to the Cross.
b. Only those who have been washed from their sins through the merits of Jesus death on the Cross will "hear the Trumpet call". So this includes both Jews & Gentiles who have been saved through faith & not by obedience to the Law.
c. If you mean 'water baptized' then Scripture tells us that water baptism is symbolic (just as the Lord' Supper) to outwardly show what has taken place inwardly in a person. So, baptism gives the new believer the testimony of obedience & a clear conscience of God's Work in them ( 1 Pet 3:20,21). But if you mean "if people refuse to, or can't be baptized", then one would need to find out the reasons.
d. Mt 7:21-23: Even those who claim to have done mighty things in Jesus' Name can be rejected from Heaven, only those who do the Father's Will, will enter it. In other words, there are many being very busy in good works, maybe trying to get God's Approval, but haven't been saved. And what is the Father's Will? That we repent of our sins because of Jesus' Sacrifice for us, be born again of His Spirit, & living a Christ-centred life. These are the children of the Kingdom.
What a wonderful way to relax and listen to the Word of God.
I've always loved this text from the very first time I discovered it. Somehow, because of not having constant Bible studies, I forgot what it says exactly. Today, a certain preacher quoted it in his presentation. The reference on the screen was wrong, so it prompted me to look for it. When I found it, I fell in love with it once again and I asked God to help me grow an interest in personal and meaningful Bible study.
Abba Father, bless everyone here today, meet every need. If some are sick, heal them, discouraged and downhearted, lift them up and help us to be all that You created us to be, whole in You, and united in Christ, and full of the Holy Spirit in all knowledge of You, and strengthen us in these evil days to stand tall, fully equip for You have called us to do, in Jesus Name I pray amen.
Love
