“A CHOSEN RACE!”

 1 Peter 2:9-10                       (ESV)


“[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. [10] 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.”




Being “A CHOSEN RACE” might indicate that we are better than those who haven’t been CHOSEN by the ONE doing the CHOOSING?  JESUS CHOSE us before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4), long before we proven assets to the Kingdom of GOD. 


WHO determines fits into “A CHOSEN RACE”?  The phrase YOU ARE GOD’s PEOPLE sets us apart from others as we are CHOSEN doesn’t mean that we are wealthy, famous and beautiful to others!  



We are “A CHOSEN RACE” means that we have been selected by the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSES to GLORIFY HIM for eternity, not to be the most popular and richest people in society.  


FATHER IN HEAVEN, cause me to live with YOU  and for YOU humbly, but to humbly KNOW that I am “A CHOSEN RACE” for YOUR GLORY!!!
