Our Identity
09/14/20 • 35 min
To a scattered church in turmoil, Peter reminds them of their God-given identity through four powerful statements. They are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation and God's special possession. All of this has been proven by the ultimate rescue Jesus had provided over sin and death. This identity gave them, and gives us, not only hope for the future, but the truth around which we ought to order our lives in worship.
