God’s Special People

How does it make you feel when you receive a compliment?

Look at how God describes us in I Peter 2:9-10.“Chosen generation”, “royal priesthood”, “holy

nation” and “special people.”The doctrine of election (I Peter 1:1-2).Remember when you were on the winning side of

a pick-up basketball or baseball game?As a Christian, we are on the winning team and

God is our captain.

God’s Special People

Elect: Foreknowledge of God the Father God’s election is based on foreknowledge. II Tim. 1:9: Grace is God’s unearned favor. Romans 8:28-30: God has known about us since

before time began.Elect: Sanctification of the Spirit

Sanctification: To be set apart for a holy use. I Peter 1:22-25; John 17:16-19; II Thess.

2:13; II Tim. 2:20-21, 3:14-17; II Peter 1:20-21.

Studying Scripture makes a Christian proficient.
