You are
The apostle Peter states,
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” 1Peter 2:9,10.
Peter here tells us that believers in Christ Jesus are a “royal priesthood” a “holy nation” belonging to God.
This is a great honour, one we as believers in Christ should not take lightly. We must remember as a royal priesthood, we are God’s servant and must represent him in an honourable way. In the best light possible.
The apostle Paul tells us,
A steward while having nothing of his own was entrusted by his master to administer his affairs in the best possible way. That is what God expects of all believers in Christ Jesus.
The apostle Paul writing to Timothy states,
“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” 2Timothy 2:15.
Thus the question becomes, if you consider yourself a follower of Christ Jesus, are you presenting the word of God in the best way you know how to?
Please think about it.

The apostle Paul tells us,
“Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ
and stewards of the mysteries of God.
Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.”
1Corinthians 4:1,2.
Notice Paul states we are “stewards of the mysteries of God.”A steward while having nothing of his own was entrusted by his master to administer his affairs in the best possible way. That is what God expects of all believers in Christ Jesus.
