December 6, 2008 - - - 1 Peter 2: 9-11

9But 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. 10Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

11Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.

I decided to finish up chapter 2 with this blog. I don't know why, but th
is picture popped into my head when I was reading this:















As Christians, we should feel pretty honored to be labeled 'a chosen people' specially hand picked by God. We were once people who did not know God and once a people that did not know of His mercy. But because of someone else, we have come to know Him. What I got from this passage was that the baton has been passed. We have a new responsibility to lead other to Christ just as someone to me and you.

As Christians, we need to fight against these temptations that plague us everyday trying to make us sin against God. But we must be steadfast and strong and remember that our non-Christian are watching.

We are that white cat.

Let us glorify God with our good deeds.

Amen.
