Rom 8:33  Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that 
justifieth.

Us!

Col 3:12  Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, 
kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

Us!

1 Pet 1:1  Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers 
scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
1 Pet 1:2  Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the 
Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and 
sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, 
be multiplied.

Gentiles!  Us!  Elect!

Where is ELECT limited to Israel proper?

are called elect, true.  But so is the church!
