“CHOSEN PEOPLE!”

 1 Peter 2:6-10                    (NASB)

“For this is contained in Scripture (Isaiah 28:16): “Behold, I am laying in Zion a choice stone, a PRECIOUS CORNERSTONE, And the one who believes in HIM WILL NOT BE PUT TO SHAME.” This precious value, then, is for you who believe; BUT FOR UNBELIEVERS, “A stone which the builders rejected, This became the CHIEF CORNERSTONE,” and, “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense”; for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to THIS THEY WERE ALSO APPOINTED. 

But you are a “CHOSEN PEOPLE”, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, a HOLY NATION, a PEOPLE FOR GOD’S OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of HIM WHO HAS CALLED YOU OUT OF DARKNESS into HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT; for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now YOU ARE THE PEOPLE OF GOD; YOU HAD NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but NOW YOU HAVE RECEIVED MERCY.”

‭‭

BELIEVERS ARE A “CHOSEN PEOPLE”!!!  But WHY do we BELIEVE?  WHY have our EYES been OPENED?  WHY have our HEARTS been made to BELIEVE?

In Romans 10:10-11 Scripture records “for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in HIM WILL NOT BE PUT TO SHAME.”

Personally , I might NOT have experienced some of the “finer things in life”, but ALMIGHTY GOD has delivered me through some experiences that VERY FEW can relate to.  WHY has HE CHOSEN me for this specific journey???  Because I AM HIS “CHOSEN PEOPLE“!!!!
