Passage: 1 Peter 2:9-10* 9. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10. for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. Questions 1. Are there things you won't do because they're just not you?   2. Do you consider yourself common or extraordinary?   Practical help If you profess to be a Christian (not sure, click here) then you really have a new status in life. You're no longer just one of the bunches of people on earth; you're one of the chosen race. You're no longer John or Jane common schmuck; you're a blue blood of the royal priesthood. You're no longer one of the godless self-pleasers who want all the personal pleasures they can get however they can get them; you're a member of God's holy nation -- His own possession -- living with a desire to proclaim His excellencies. By God's grace just realizing your new status will help you steer clear of porn. Somehow porn just isn't going to mix with your new blue blood. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2001 by eXXit *"Scripture taken from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE®, © Copyright The Lockman Foundation 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995.
