One of the big themes of the Bible is how God creates a special relationship between Himself and His people.
He makes a really big deal about it too!
You can tell by the way He delivers this message through both the Old and New Testaments.
For example...
"I will walk among you and will be your God, and you shall be my people" (Lev.26:12).
And...
"I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people" (Heb.8:10).
And, of course, there's what the Bible says about Jesus...
"She will bear a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins" (Mt.1:21).
Once you understand -- by faith -- that God has made you a part of His people it changes everything.
Because in that relationship you have everything!
-- You have your identity, purpose, hope, security, direction and more!
And you know where you belong!
So if you're unsure about your place, and what you ought to be doing today, start by remembering who you are...
You are part of a chosen race... a royal priesthood... a holy nation... a people for His own possession...
... that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Pet.2:9).
