Man, time has flown by this week. I can't believe that Friday is almost over. It's been an amazing week with the Lord. I've been preparing for Saturday's Bible study on 1 Peter 2:1-10. I spent a lot of time researching what a royal priesthood is and God's Word has touched me in many ways! I never really thought about all the implications and have often skipped through some of these passages.
Verse 5: "you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ"
As part of the royal priesthood (a believer in Christ), I:
- have an elect privilege
- am cleansed of sin
- am clothed for service
- am anointed for service
- am prepared for service
- am ordained to obedience
- am to honor the Word of God
- am to walk with God
- am to impact sinners
- am a messenger of God
(The above list is from the MacArthur Study Bible and Commentary).
I am so thankful to the Lord who continually teaches and guides me as I go through this world onto the one he has awaiting for me!
