Did you know, follower of Christ, that you are a priest serving the living God?
Did you know that you are royalty?
How can we know this?  God says so!

(NIV) 1 Peter 2:9 “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him (God) who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”

Let’s consider a question: are you in the habit of praising the living God because He called you out of the darkness of sin into His marvelous light?

We are to proclaim His excellencies in the way we use words.  We are to give Him honor by the things we do every day.

You, follower of Christ Jesus, have a privileged position… you serve the risen, the living Savior… His name is Jesus.

You are a chosen people ~ chosen by God.

You are a royal priesthood ~ chosen by God.

You are a holy nation ~ chosen by God.

You are a people belonging to God ~ chosen by God.

You have been called out of the darkness of sin
~ you were chosen by God!

You have been called into God’s marvelous light
~ you were chosen by God!

~ Take it to heart ~

Royalty means living poised, confident and differently
… You are royalty.

Live your life differently from those without Christ as their Savior…
