1 Peter 2:9 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. #Bible
Once we were those who were blinded by darkness groping around stumbling, falling down, constantly being wounded by our sins, living to suffer the consequences of our sins, and even controlled by our sins.
Once we existed in the darkness of ignorance about our Creator God. We knew only the passions of our flesh, and its lusts.
This darkness kept us enslaved to a life of suffering, unsatisfied though we had everything, nothing gave us joy or happiness.
Then God chose us to come into His presence, into His Marvelous Light. We became Gods chosen, His royal priesthood, and Holy nation, a people for His own possession, His Family.
As God's Royal Priests we proclaim our Father's Love to the world. We share the invitation from God to the world. That Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. To all who would believe.
We proclaim Jesus is Lord, and we share His Word, the Holy Scriptures to a world stranded in the darkness of ignorance and the binding slavery of sin. We proclaim Freedom in Light, where all is visible, to all who would believe in Jesus the Christ. We live in the Joy of the Lord, happy, and wanting to please Jesus in our service to Him.
Come into the Light, believe in Jesus.
