"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." 1 Pet 2:9

This is a verse that redefines you and I and our job descriptions.  The Bible says,  "if anyone is in Christ,  he is a new creation".  2 Cor. 5:17.  The moment we accept Christ into our lives, we are new, totally different from what we used to be without Christ.  The Bible goes on to say, "the old has gone, the new has come".

In the verse above Peter elaborates the new person you and I are as one who has been called from darkness into his wonderful light.  He describes us as:

• a chosen people,
• a royal priesthood,
• a holy nation, and 
• a people belonging to God

Amen!!!  And our new job is:

• declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
