Saturday Writing by Carol Steficek......2/4/17

Good Morning,

Today's writing is named, "CHOSEN." It is written by Carol Steficek. She writes about what it means to be a chosen people of God...an actual royal priesthood. That membership of the people of God brings responsibility. Carol wrote, "Reflecting on this Bible passage should make us want to share the wonderful gospel message with everyone we meet so they too can become a part of a chosen people -- the people of God.." (Pretty amazing to be in this royal family.)


Hope you all have a wonderful weekend...whether rainy or not. Please remember to pray for our country.

God bless
Corinne & Carol

"CHOSEN"


 
"But 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." 
I Peter 2:9


     The church of Jesus Christ is chosen, royal, a priesthood, holy -- we belong to God.  What a marvelous thought.  Did you ever think about the fact that you are an heir of heaven?

     
      I've been blessed to be a baptized member of the church of Jesus Christ since I was born.  Sometimes, however, like we all do at times, I lose sight of the magnitude of being an heir of heaven and all that the Father through His Son Jesus has prepared for us.

     Reflecting on this Bible passage should make us want to share the wonderful gospel message with everyone we meet so they too can become a part of a chosen people -- the people of God.


     As we live our lives, we should be different than others in our society by how we live and what we say.  We should reflect this godliness and be lights in an ever darkening world of sin and evil.  God has chosen us for a 
purpose.  Our lives should declare His praises!
