We Are A Chosen People

“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. [Exod. 19:5, 6.] Once you were not a people [at all], but now you are God’s people; once you were unpitied, but now you are pitied and have received mercy.” We are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation so we can set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of the Lord who called us out of darkness. We are God’s super men and women put here to carry out great exploits and to demonstrate Satan’s defeat. He has called us out of darkness into His marvelous light. Coming out of the darkness brings deliverance unto freedom from wrong doings. Before Christianity mankind was under the control of habitual sin, we couldn’t help ourselves from the bondage of it. You have been called out of the darkness, and now you have the option of living a clean life. The sin nature is still in our flesh so we must deal with temptation all the time. Once we learn how to fight the good fight of faith, every battle you enter into can be fought that same way, believing and trusting the Lord to bring you through.
