God's treasured possession
[Isaiah 43:4 ESV] Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life.
[Deuteronomy 7:7-8 ESV] It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the LORD set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples, but it is because the LORD loves you and is keeping the oath that he swore to your fathers, that the LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
[Titus 2:14 ESV] who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.
[Ephesians 1:18 ESV] having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,
A kingdom of priests and a holy nation
[Psalm 148:14 ESV] He has raised up a horn for his people, praise for all his saints, for the people of Israel who are near to him. Praise the LORD!
[Revelation 1:6 ESV] and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
[1 Peter 2:9 ESV] But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
[Revelation 1:5-6 ESV] and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
