1 Peter 2:9-10 – 9 But 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. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 1. You are acceptable – 1 Peter 2:9, “a chosen people” Titus 3:7 (Contemporary English Version) “Jesus treated us much better than we deserve. He made us acceptable to God and gave us the hope of eternal life.” 2. You are valuable – 1 Peter 2:9, “God’s special possession” 1 Corinthians 7:23 – “You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings.” 3. You are capable – 1 Peter 2:9, “a royal priesthood” 1 Peter 2:9-10 (The Message Translation) But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made
