Ezekiel 43-44, 1 Peter 2 Proverbs 18: 17-24
1 Peter 2: 9-10 (ESV)
“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy
nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies
of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were
not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy,
but now you have received mercy.”
Verses 9 and 10 from 1 Peter 1 tells people of faith that if
you believe in Jesus Christ, you are part of the chosen race and part of the royal
priesthood. We are God’s people who can tell the world about Jesus Christ who
made us a part of God’s family. Peter tells before we believed in Jesus Christ,
we were not a people. But belief in Jesus Christ has made us God’s people who
can receive mercy, instead of a people who had not received mercy.
I love that because I belief in Jesus Christ, I have become
part of the Chosen people, and God’s possession. I am part of the flock
belonging to God, and when I am lost I know God will look for me and save me
and rejoice that I am found and saved.
