In Walking to Macon, Louie Giglio reminds us that it is imperative that you know WHO you are. God wants to remind you that you are chosen, you are Holy, you are God’s. You have to know who you are in order to know WHY you are.
Scripture References
9.But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10.Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
13.Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming.
1.Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,
To God’s elect, exiles scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, 2.who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood:
Grace and peace be yours in abundance.3.Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4.and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 5.who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6.In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7.These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
