Three Little Words

1 Peter 2:9 “But you are a chosen generation” He chose me! “a royal priesthood”. Not only did He choose me, but I am allowed into His inner court to stand before and minister to Him! “a holy nation”. He has placed me in a family with the same dreams and desires and goals and by doing so He has clothed me with a new identity. “His own special people.” He looks on us with great love, pride, and joy. “that you may proclaim the praises of Him”. Our only responsibility in this new identity is to let every part of our lives reflect Him and His glory. “who called you out of darkness”. Again, He called to you while you were stumbling around in the dark. “into His marvelous light.” We are now clothed in glory, radiant and pure, adorned with joy and truth!
