Showing forth His praise

 



1 Peter 2:9 

"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;"

 

 

A lot of times I've have looked at this verse and just used it Willy nilly and did not actually sit back to fully understand what Apostle Peter was saying.

 

 

Using the law of post-text, let's get a understanding of what was being said👇

 

 

1 Peter 2:9 

"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;"

 


"We are a chosen generation.....a royal priesthood....a holy nation....a peculiar people."

 

 

Now that we have become this in and through Christ, what should we do next?👇👇

 

  

"that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;"

  


We should, because of what we have become through Christ, SHOW FORTH PRAISES OF HIM (GOD).

  

 

What did God do?👇👇👇

 

 

"Who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;"

 

 

Amazing!! How did God do that? 😲

 

 

1 Peter 2:10 

"Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy."

  

In time past we were a people (not of God) who had not received the Mercy (Promise) of God but through Christ Jesus, we are a people (of God) who have obtained the Mercy (Promise) of God.

 

 

This is similar to what Apostle Paul said to the Ephesians 👇👇👇

 

 

Ephesians 2:12-13

(12) 

"That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:"


(13)

"But now in Christ Jesus you who sometimes were far off are made near by the blood of Christ."

 

 

Through the blood (signifying the Death) of Jesus Christ, we who were afar off are now a people of God. 👇👇

 

 

Ephesians 2:19 

"Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;"

 

 

This is the praises of God we are to show forth in every aspect of our lives. 

 

 

If you read to the end, write in the comments 👇👇👇 


"Thank you Jesus for paying the price for me!"

 


  

I hope this blesses you... 

I love you ❤️

"For with God, nothing is impossible".

  "For with God, nothing is impossible". If it was possible for the sin of one man to make you a sinner, then it's not impossible for the righteousness of one man to make you righteous.   If it was possible for you to be doomed for Hell because of one man's sin, it's possible for you to be saved by one man's resurrection.     The Old man was of a sinful nature but the New creation man is of an Immortal, incorruptible and righteous nature.      Those who are born again are not born in or of the flesh but of the Spirit. There are not born of the Earthly but of the Heavenly. They are not born of Man but of God!   When you judge your nature by the understanding of the flesh, you misinterpret and misunderstand who you really are.     You are righteous. You are Holy. You are without blemish or spots. God is pleased with you. You are the Righteousness of God.   That's who you really are!   How did it all happen? "For with God, nothing...

The motive for being good

I was thinking....     "A good deed is its own reward". A very normal yet life-changing statement. My mom made this statement to me years back and it'll always be a code I stand by.     Building your mindset on this very statement as a Believer is probably one of the best ways to show how good Jesus is. It also proves that you have offered yourself as a living sacrifice to God.     It may look very casual or common to others but it shouldn't be for us... It's an integral part of our Christianity.       Our Lord, Jesus, and the Apostles of the new testament highly emphasized on showing charity, kindness and goodness to others.       Jesus gave us an example to follow... St. John 13:14-15 "And since I, the Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other's feet. I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you." [NLT]     Apostle Paul emphasized on it... Ephesian...

THE TRUE PLAN AND INTENTION OF GOD

 TRUE PLAN AND INTENTION OF GOD Romans 9:22  And the same is true of what God has done. He wanted to show his anger and to make his power known. But he was very patient in enduring those who were the objects of his anger, who were doomed to destruction. Romans 9:23  And he also wanted to reveal his abundant glory, which was poured out on us who are the objects of his mercy, those of us whom he has prepared to receive his glory. During the time of the Law, God was supposed to show his anger to Man for their sins but he was very patient.  What is God's anger? The departure of his presence. He would leave those that has rejected Him. Outside of God is destruction. God knew that we were doomed for destruction. Due to the greatness and richness of love he has for us, he focused more on getting us saved than our flaws.  "He is not slow in fulfilling his promises but he is patient, that all may come to repentance." God's plan has also been to show us his abundance of G...
