What a wonderful God we serve that He is able to seek and to save us, and appropriate us as His own personal possession. 1 Peter 2 – 9 says, “But you are a Chosen Race, a Royal Priesthood, a Holy Nation, a People for God’s Own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous Light. He has saved us to rejoice and to proclaim God’s Glory and faithfulness, so that others may hear and respond to His gracious invitation of Salvation.
In Romans 11: 5: we read, “In the same way then, there has also come to be at this present time a remnant according to God’s gracious choice. Romans 9: 27: says, “And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that will be saved.”
In Acts 16: 31: we have a wonderful promise from the Lord, “And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and all your household.” The Lord Himself sets a seal and separates us unto Himself the moment we surrender to His Lordship. Ephesians 1: 13b: says, “Having also believed you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise.” Ephesians 4: 30: says, “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” In 2 Timothy 2: 19: it says, “Nevertheless, the firm foundation stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are His, and let everyone who names the Name of the Lord abstain from wickedness.”
Dearest Holy Lord Jesus: thank You so much that we are hidden with God in Christ Jesus, and protected by the Power of God through faith in You Jesus. Thank You for Your Precious Holy Spirit Who has sealed us as Your very own for the day of Redemption. May You receive great joy from Your remnant Body around the world, as they boast and glory in Thy praise. Glory to you alone!
