1 Peter 2:9-10 “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness in to His marvelous light; for you were once not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”
Titus 2:14 “…who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.”
Once we as believes come to understand our true identity as sons and daughters of God, we will not suffer from a poor self-esteem. It is a major spiritual breakthrough for us when we embrace the fact that we are God’s possession; we are not our own-we have been bought with a price. We were in darkness, but we have been called into His marvelous light. We may have trouble seeing past this life, but the truth is that this life is temporary and it is a time of preparation for the life to come. God is up to something; He has plans that are beyond our comprehension-and His plans include you and I. We did not one day decide to ‘find God;’ God chose us; we are a chosen race. (Not chosen based on our own merits but by the grace of God.) And don’t’ miss this-we are a royal priesthood who offer service and worship to God. We are a holy nation; God broke the power of sin over us and He has forgiven us of our sins and has made us righteous and He has made us new creations. As the people of God, we can live holy lives-lives that are pleasing to Him. Our overall purpose in this life is that we “may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called us.” Life is not all about us; life is to be about fulfilling the call of God and living according to the ways of Him who called us and made us His own possession. Let us daily acknowledge that we belong to God and purpose to live as one who has been joined to Him.
1 Peter 1:14-16 “As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lust which were yours in your ignorance, but be like the holy one who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy.’”
1 Corinthians 19-20 “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.”
2 Timothy 1:9 “who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity,”
