But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. - 1 Peter 2:9
In 1 Peter 2:9, God reveals a beautiful truth about those who believe in Him – they are chosen and called for a purpose. This purpose is not hidden but is clear—to declare the praises of the One who called us out of darkness and into His marvelous light. We were once in the shadows, but through God's calling, we are brought into the brilliance of His grace.
