Stirred By The Scriptures

I want to continue with some thoughts from the passage in First Peter I referred to yesterday. Not only does God call us aliens and strangers but he gives us some other defining titles. He calls us: ” a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,a people belonging to God - WOW! So often we think of stewardship strictly as it relates to money but Peter tells me that my whole life and how I use it is a stewardship issue. In fact he goes on to say that the position I have in Christ, described by all those wonderful phrases, is for the purpose of declaring God’s praises. In other words above everything else the purpose of my life is to bring glory and praise to God. You know if I am honest that doesn’t always make the top 3 on my list of goals for the week. We have a lofty position in Christ and with that comes a high responsibility to use it in a manner that points people to the Savior.
