Your ID Matters – Now What?

1 Peter 2: 9 & 10 (NLT) …you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. 10“Once you had no identity as a people; now you are God’s people. Once you received no mercy; now you have received God’s mercy.”

Who you are in Christ…

1. You are accepted.

1 Peter 2: 9 (NLT) …you are a chosen people

2. You are valuable.

1 Peter 2: 9 (NLT) … a holy nation, God’s very own possession.

3. You belong.

1 Peter 1: 10 (NLT) Once you had no identity as a people; now you are God’s people.

4. You are TOTALLY forgiven.

1 Peter 1: 10 (NLT) Once you received no mercy; now you have received God’s mercy.

5. I am capable.

1 Peter 2: 9 (NLT) …you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.
