1Peter 2:4-12 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. Oh Mark..how true are His words. Do you wonder why you think and speak against God as you do? Easy, my friend. Look at those highlighted words again......... .......and as the teacher says. "Nothing new under the sun". Meanwhile the chosen ARE "priests" & "holy" & "belonging to God" why?????? clue is verse 9. that we may declare the praise of Him who called us out of darkness into HIS wonderful light. From the ends of the earth, From the depths of the sea, from the heights of the heavens, Your Name be praised Lord! From the hearts of the weak, From the SHOUTS of the strong, from the lips of all people, Your Name be praised Lord! Thoughout the endless ages YOU will be crowned with praises, LORD MOST HIGH! Exalted in every nation Sovreign of all creation, LORD MOST HIGH! Be magnified!!! Be magnified!!!
