Because of this great salvation (chapter 1) God is building all who follow Christ into a chosen people.
Christ-following Gentiles (mostly) hearing that God had chosen them as his own was reassuring and amazing.
God is the master builder.
When God calls us into his marvelous light we become part of his people. How wonderful to be included!
I am part of a chosen race, a royal, priesthood, a holy nation, one of God’s people. Thankfully remember this and be moved into action.
Heed verse 8. Refusing to line up with the cornerstone will leave a person lost and flat on their face. Jesus is the cornerstone.
Lord Jesus, continue to align my heart with yours.
