A “People” of Glory
1 Peter 2:9-12
9 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; 10 who once were not
a people but are now the people of God,
who had not obtained mercy but now have
obtained mercy.
A “People” of Glory
1 Peter 2:9-12 (cont.)
11 Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and
pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which
war against the soul, 12 having your
conduct honorable among the Gentiles,
that when they speak against you as
evildoers, they may, by your good works
which they observe, glorify God in the day
of visitation.
A “Chosen People”
Deuteronomy 10:15
The Lord delighted only in your fathers, to
love them; and He chose their
descendants after them, you above all
peoples, as it is this day.
A “Chosen People”
Exodus 19:5-6
5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My
voice and keep My covenant, then you
shall be a special treasure to Me above all
people; for all the earth is Mine. 6 And you
shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a
holy nation. These are the words which
you shall speak to the children of Israel.
A “Chosen People”
Jeremiah 32:37-42
37 Behold, I will gather them out of all
countries where I have driven them in My
anger, in My fury, and in great wrath; I will
bring them back to this place, and I will
cause them to dwell safely.
38 They shall be My people, and I will be
their God;
A “Chosen People”
Jeremiah 32:37- 42 (cont.)
39 then I will give them one heart and one
way, that they may fear Me forever, for the
good of them and their children after them.
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant
with them, that I will not turn away from
doing them good; but I will put My fear in
their hearts so that they will not depart
from Me.
A “Chosen People”
Jeremiah 32:37- 42 (cont.)
41 Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them
good, and I will assuredly plant them in this
land, with all My heart and with all My soul.
42 For thus says the Lord: Just as I have
brought all this great calamity on this
people, so I will bring on them all the good
that I have promised them.
A “Chosen People”
As a Nation, Israel Failed to
Fulfill God’s Call Upon It’s Life.
1. Failed to Love God.
2. Failed to Trust God.
3. Failed to Obey God.

Failed to Fill The Earth With His Glory!

Matthew 21:43
Therefore I say to you, the
kingdom of God will be taken from
you and given to a nation bearing
the fruits of it.
A “Chosen People”
Romans 11:11-12
11 I say then, have they stumbled that they
should fall? Certainly not! But through their
fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation
has come to the Gentiles. 12 Now if their
fall is riches for the world, and their failure
riches for the Gentiles, how much more
their fullness!
A “Chosen People”
Romans 11:25-29
25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you
should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you
should be wise in your own opinion, that
blindness in part has happened to Israel
until the fullness of the Gentiles has come
in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it
is written: "The Deliverer will come out of
Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness
A “Chosen People”
Romans 11:25-29 (cont.)
from Jacob; 27 For this is My covenant
with them, When I take away their sins."
28 Concerning the gospel they are
enemies for your sake, but concerning the
election they are beloved for the sake of
the fathers. 29 For the gifts and the calling
of God are irrevocable.

2 Corinthians 4:6-7
6 For it is the God who commanded light to
shine out of darkness, who has shone in
our hearts to give the light of the
knowledge of the glory of God in the face
of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this
treasure in earthen vessels, that the
excellence of the power may be of God
and not of us.
A “People” of Glory
That ye may show forth - By your whole
behaviour, to all mankind. The excellent
glory - the virtues, wisdom, and power of
Him, Christ, who hath called you out of the
darkness of ignorance, error, sin, and
misery.
- John Wesley (1 Peter 2:9)
