Who you are in Christ.#15

These verses today tell us we are four things in Christ! So let’s take a look!

1 Peter 2:9-10 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

1. Chosen Generation-We are very blessed people to live in the grace and mercy time frame of God’s working and not under the law! Can I get an amen on that! Thus all who follow Jesus are a chosen generation to follow Him in all we say and do! What an honor!

2. Royal Priesthood-As a follower of Christ you are royalty, after all you are a son or daughter of God now. With that privilege comes the responsibility of being part of the priesthood, doing the works of God as we proclaim Him to the world!

3. A Holy Nation-as a group of follower, otherwise known as the church, we are to be a holy nation dedicated to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Noticeably serrated from the world by individuals living godly lives. Sadly as a whole our great nation is not living up to this!

4. His Own Special People-what an honor to be His! God’s! When we give our lives to Christ we are His special people and no one can do anything about that! We are His, His, His! Dwell on that for awhile! Later in the verses we looked at it says we were once not the people of God but now are...thank you Jesus for giving us that opportunity!

So today we see in Christ we are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and His own special people! If you are a follower of Jesus that reminder should get your Monday off to a great start!!!
