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 ❤️

ITS ONLY CHRIST THAT SAVES

 ITS ONLY CHRIST THAT SAVES. Romans 10:1 Brothers and sisters, my heart's desire and prayer to God on behalf of the Jewish people is that they would be saved. Romans 10:2 I can assure you that they are deeply devoted to God, but they are misguided. Romans 10:3  They don't understand how to receive God's approval. So they try to set up their own way to get it, and they have not accepted God's way for receiving his approval. Romans 10:4 Christ is the fulfillment of Moses' Teachings so that everyone who has faith may receive God's approval. Apostle Paul saw that his people, though were very devoted about God, had no idea that they weren't saved. The Jews believed that the only way to God was through the Law of Moses and fulfilling its morals.  Jesus said "I am the Way, Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me". The Jews, though believed there is a Messiah, didn't know what the Messiah was saving them from. Hence, they rejec...

THE GOSPEL part 1

    THE GOSPEL part 1 What is the Gospel?  The Gospel is the message of GRACE..... as distinguished from the LAW.That means that the message of the Gospel (Grace) is a clearer image or better explanation of the message the Law was trying to portray. *Colossians 2 vs 17 *Hebrews 10 vs 1 What is the Law? Also known as the Torah, the Law is the name the Jews gave the first five books of Moses. It comprises of both the law given to Moses on Mount Sinai and the laws handwritten by Moses for the people of Israel. The Law was made to prevent the people of Israel from sinning. In Romans 2 vs 14, Apostle Paul revealed that there was also Law for the Gentiles such as Consciousness or thoughts judging their actions.      The Gospel cannot be fully understood and explained from the OLD TESTAMENT because Christ and His work is the true revelation. The Law was a faulty and unstable description of God's plan for mankind. What is the Gospel? "For God so loved the world, th...

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...
