PECULIAR PEOPLE.
I can’t understand how people can believe that God is like that. In a discussion with a young man in school, my daughter had tried to sell her concept of God to him. Unfortunately, the young man’s concept of God was so twisted and warped. He appears to be one of the many in God’s house who have been graciously ushered into the New Covenant but have refused to let go of the Old Covenant concept of God. The Bible is obviously written for all dispensations. It is wisdom to dwell on the things that are meant for you. It is more like a buffet. You pick the one that is yours.
Reading through Exodus 19 recently, I saw something that made me smile. The Lord was speaking to His people in verses 5-6 which says, Now, therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine. And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation.
Compare the scripture above with 1 Peter 2:9 that says, 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.
If you compare the two scriptures above, you will discover that while the first is conditional, the second is not. We are made peculiar people unto God because of the obedience of Jesus. His obedience has been credited to our accounts. The Lord Jesus Christ fulfilled all the righteous requirements of the laws and the prophets.
John 1:17 tells us that Jesus Christ came with grace and truth. Settle down and learn the truth of God’s Word. It is the Word that gives us the right concept of God. His Word shows us what it means to be peculiar people unto our God. Such knowledge adds springs to our feet.
Please share this and be a blessing to someone today. Also remember to pick your copy of THE WINNING CHRISTIAN from amazon. If Professor Akin says that the book is power packed, then there must be something in it for you. You are blessed.
