Choosing Jesus Christ as your Lord

Day LXVI

1 Peter 2



 4 So as you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but chosen and priceless in God’s sight, 5 you yourselves, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood and to offer spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For it says in scripture, “Look, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and priceless cornerstone, and whoever believes in him will never be put to shame.” 7 So you who believe see his value, but for those who do not believe, the stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone, 8 and a stumbling-stone and a rock to trip over. They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do. 9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may proclaim the virtues of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10 You once were not a people, but now you are God’s people. You were shown no mercy, but now you have received mercy.  
 11 Dear friends, I urge you as foreigners and exiles to keep away from fleshly desires that do battle against the soul, 12 and maintain good conduct among the non-Christians, so that though they now malign you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God when he appears.  


Dear brothers and sisters as we accepted Christ as our savior let us claim the promise of God to us. We are the chosen ones who would become the HOLY priesthood to proclaim the virtues of the one who called us. We have discussed the holy living in the previous days. Now let us claim that we should act like a priest under the law of God who is very careful in the ways of their living because we have the responsibility to please our GOD. We should live our lives the way the spirit needs to live for the glory of God and not to live in our fleshly desires.
