“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.” —1 Peter 2:9
We are chosen as a people with a purpose and for a mission. We are brought out of the darkness of sin and given the marvelous light of salvation to help others find his wonderful light of salvation. You see, we are blessed to be a blessing and given light to shine to help others find their way out of their darkness. We are called to point others to the one, true, never-interrupted Light — the Almighty God as Father, Son, and Spirit!
