You are Royalty!

Hey guys!

do you know that God calls us to be Royal Priests for Him?

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for possession, so that you might speak of the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
- 1 Peter 2:9

God calls us & chose us, not by accident, not by mistake! But HE chose you!

What does a Priest do? (Hebrew kohen; Greek hiereus)

There are four characteristics of the priest. He was
(1) chosen of God;
(2) the property of God;
(3) holy to God;
(4) he offered gifts to God, and took back gifts from God (Heb_5:1-4).

All true believers are now "kings and priests unto God." As priests they have free and direct access to God, through Jesus Christ, and they offer up the sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving, and the sacrifices of grateful service to God from day to day.

look at (4), We offer gifts to God and bring back gifts from God for others as well! God calls us to speak His praise, to tell our friends and family of His goodness and how He has cared and loved us =)

So remember, we are priest, we are royalty! serve others around you in love, you are bringing gifts from God to those around you! Amen?
