"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." (1 Peter 2:9, NIV).
As believers, our identity is rooted in the fact that God loves us and has chosen us as His own. He has made us all ministers (priests) unto God and each other. This means that there should be no "celebrities" or "kings" amongst us - there is one King, one Hero, and His name is Jesus. God has also made us citizens of heaven; a "holy nation". Are we still grappling with sin; are we still being made holy?
The same Scripture speaks to our calling. As believers, our job is not our calling. Our purpose in life is to proclaim the Good News, and to make disciples of nations, through the church (Matthew 28:9). To whom do we belong - ourselves or God? What are we living for - our own appetites, or to declare His praises?
