Identity | Chosen | 1 Peter 2:9-10, Exodus 19:5-6
July 10, 2010
Being chosen by God changes how we see ourselves and the purpose of our lives. Brandon Williams begins Identity with 1 Peter 2:9–10 and Exodus 19:5–6, exploring what it means to belong to God as His people. He connects that identity with security, love and grace, pointing to Jesus’ sacrifice as the expression of God’s love. Comparing ourselves with others breeds pride or insecurity; remembering our need for Christ produces gratitude. The message challenges us to stop taking grace for granted, recognize the mercy that brought us out of darkness and respond to God’s invitation, trusting Him to accomplish His purposes through our lives.
