Revelation 1:6

And formed us into a kingdom (a royal race), priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the power and the majesty and the dominion throughout the ages and forever and ever. Amen (so be it).

·        We are now royalty in Christ, we are so blessed, that now we may be called the sons of God! We have been given the very glory of our Lord and Savior, right now, so that we may be one with God, just as Jesus is One with God! 
 
·        I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one [even] as We are one: John 17:22
 
·        For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren. And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). And those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity and condition or state of being]. Romans 8:29-30
 
·       We are now a Kingdom of Priests. We are not becoming a Kingdom of Priests, we are a Kingdom of Servants. Just as Jesus is a King and a High Priest, so are we, because we have been made one with Him. You see we can be no other way, we are now our Lords physical body on the earth, Ephesians 5:30. And as 1 John 4:17 teaches us, as Jesus is, so are we in this world. Jesus prayed in John 17 multiple times that we would be one with Him and Jesus was crucified to insure that we would be! Amen, we are now one with Jesus and that is why Revelation is such a great prophesy to read. Just wait and see how God is going to use the Body of Christ on this earth, it is spectacular!
