“Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.”
Exodus 19:5-6 KJV
The Israelites were God’s treasured people if they obeyed Him fully, they had to earn this position. In Christ today, we are His treasured possession because Christ has earned this position and given it to us free of cost. Christ’s Cross made us who believe, a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that we may proclaim the praises of Him Who has called us out of darkness into His marvellous Light. Through Jesus’s obedience, we became chosen and a royal priesthood anointed with His Anointing to bring the sacrifice of worship to Him, ruling and reigning with Him. Christ’s Blood has made us holy to be His holy nation. We are His purchased possession, His special property, of more value to Him than the entire universe. We are His royal diadem in whom He finds delight to use us as He wills to bring pleasure to Him. Thank You Jesus for all these privileges and being special to You. Amen!
