“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light”(1 Peter 2:9)
The Bible
describes those who are born again as a chosen breed; a chosen species; a new
type of people – God’s dream people. This is what God longed for when He told
the Jewish nation – if you obey my voice, I’ll make you a peculiar treasure, a
peculiar people, a kingdom of priests, a holy nation (Exodus 19:5). Now, we are God’s dream fulfilled, and we
didn’t have to sweat or struggle for it. We didn’t beg for it or do anything by
ourselves to earn it; the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ conferred it on us. We
got it by inheritance!
In our
opening scripture, when God described the new creation as a chosen generation,
He meant that he belongs to a new generation of supermen with the divine
genetic material! This means you have God’s DNA in you. No wonder the Bible
says we are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37); your
lineage is the lineage of champions and victors. This is the reason you must
refuse failure, sickness and defeat.
Now that you’re
in Christ, you’re a new creation; old things are passed away and all things
have become new!
