Chosen

“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, his own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of him who called you out of darkness into this marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.” (1 Peter 2:9-10).

We are certainly a chosen generation. We are allowed to have the Holy Spirit living in us (John 14:17). We have been made to understand the mystery of Christ and the Church (Romans 16:25-27). We have become partakers of Jesus’ divine nature (2 Peter 1:4).

Can there be any greater gift?
