We Are A Chosen Generation


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 the darkness into His marvelous light: 1 Peter 2:9

This is a fundamental Truth that the Church needs to grow up in the knowledge of: the Truth that through Christ we are now in and one with the Light of God.

This then is the message we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:5

At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you. John 14:20

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 1 Peter 3:18

According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and promises: that by these ye may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped corruption that is in this world through lust, 2 Peter 1:3-4

The Truth for us is that we are now in our Father's Light. At the very moment that our Father empowered us to say yes to Jesus as our Lord, His glorious Light drove out our darkness. Our darkness never stood a chance against God’s Light! Christ suffered once to bring us to God. The Blood that was shed by Jesus at the Cross has allowed our Father to perfect us in every good work. The Blood of Jesus has allowed our Father to give us all things that pertain unto life and unto godliness. Because of the Blood we now have the knowledge of God and we know that He has called us unto glory and virtue, whereby we are given exceeding great promises. Through the Holy Spirit we now know that we are partakers of His Divine Nature. Through Christ we have escaped corruption and we are now in the Light! The Just was given for the unjust; the price of sin has been paid in full for us who have been chosen to serve the world!
