IDENTITY

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. 1 Peter 2 : 9            
We are specially made by God not because of what we do, but rather because of His love for us. He already loved us even before knowing or even if you don’t know Him. It doesn’t matter if we recognise this identity which He has given to us because of the Love through His Son Jesus Christ, nobody can take it from us if we don’t allow it. I believe when one  have a right, it is not ideal for him to leave this right to be taken from him. No matter the sins you might have committed because some people think that their sins are unforgiven, that is not true. Jesus Christ has paid the price for your sins therefore there is no unforgiven sin. In Psalm 82 : 6 the psalmist says that ” we are gods, and all of us are children of the Most High”. The question is how are we gods? In Genesis the bible says that God created us in His own image and if we have been created like that whom are we then – gods because chicken will always give birth to chicken and lion will always give birth to lion. According to the scripture, it did not say some people, but it says ”ALL OF US”.  What God is expecting from us is to come back to Him like the prodigal son who after spending his portion of his father’s wealth went back to his father and ask for forgiveness and the father forgave him.  So brethren, i believe we have to go back to our father and possess those great mansions He has kept for us.
