Called Out of Darkness1 Peter 2:9
No. 338But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.1 Peter 2:9
Four identities in one verse: chosen, royal, holy, God's special possession. And one purpose: to declare the praises of the One who called you out. You didn't wander into the light — you were called out of the dark. That's worth declaring.
Reflect
Which of the four identities — chosen, royal, holy, special possession — is hardest for you to own? Why?
Prayer
Lord, I receive all four. Chosen, royal, holy, Yours. Let these identities shape how I live and what I declare. Amen.
