To discuss the final part of this series, I want to review a most wonderful verse and use it to act as the foundation for today’s teaching.

1 Pet 2:9 AMP

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, a [special] people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies [the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections] of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light.

Here God is describing who you are and what you are called to be. He is describing your identity and your mission. No matter what your vocation may be, please remember this truth:

Your identity precedes your vocation.

• Chosen – best of its kind
• Royal – kingly
• Consecrated – set apart, not common
• Special – in its class, not common
