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 ❤️

Justification by Faith

  𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰: Justified by Faith 𝗧𝗲𝘅𝘁: Romans 5 vs 1  "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ"     Justification, in context with the verse above, means to be absolved (to set free, release ) and declared free of blame or sin.     Through the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, all those who believe in him are justified or set free of sin. Romans 4:25  "Who was betrayed and put to death because of our misdeeds and was raised to secure our justification (our acquittal), [making our account balance and absolving us from all guilt before God]."     𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 "𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧"? By Faith     Romans 4:24  "But [they were written] for our sakes too. [Righteousness, standing acceptable to God] will be granted and credited to us also who believe in (trust in, adhere to, and rely on) God, Who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead," ...

No longer in sin

  𝗡𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗶𝗻 Some people, at the moment of first glance, due to the tone or the boldness of the phrase above, might think this is an excerpt that condemns.  It's best if you read through.     (1)  Romans 6:1  "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?" Romans 6:2  "God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?"     This text above has been used by many people unto condemnation or to exalt the "power" of sin. Thereby making the listener or reader become ignorant to the finished work of Christ by twicking with his/her emotions.     Let's use the law of pretext here.    (2) Romans 5:20  "Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:" Romans 5:21 " That as sin has reigned to death, even so might grace reign through righteousness to eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord."    ...

      As Believers, we need to have a greater understanding of the gravity of God's sacrifice. If we'd actually look deeper into what happened on the cross, we would see that nothing ordinary occurred there. There would be much more value given to Jesus if we could understand what He's coming took and the changes it made.       In the Acts of the Apostles, when Peter encountered some Jews, he told them about Jesus..... "You rejected the man who was holy and innocent. You asked to have a murderer given to you, and you killed the source of life. But God brought him back to life, and we are witnesses to that." [Acts 3:14-15 (God's word)] Jesus coming to this Earth caused Him His very own life! To save you and I, He had to die.          It looks and sounds easier on paper right? Imagine being killed by the ones you came to save? That's how much it took from Him. However, the book of Hebrews says....."𝑯𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑱𝒐𝒚 𝒂𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅...
