But you are A CHOSEN RACE, 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; I Peter 2:9
Peter’s epistle is a manual of how to overcome persecution and live faithfully for Jesus is a troubled world. Here he proclaims that the best defense is a good offense. Go and proclaim Christ who called you out of darkness and into light. What qualification does the Christian have for this mission? Christians have become the chosen race, the royal priesthood, the holy nation, and the people who really belong to God. In the Old Covenant, it was the Jews, Israel, and the Levites. In Christ, Christians fill those roles in His kingdom. All disciples are equipped to fulfill this mission. Go ye.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
