WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF ROYALTY?

 I PETER 2:6-9
WHERFORE ALSO IT IS CONTAINED IN THE SCRIPTURES, BEHOLD, I LAY IN SION A CHIEF CORNER STONE, ELECT, PRECIOUS: AND HE THAT BELIEVETH ON HIM SHALL NOT BE CONFOUNDED.
UNTO YOU THEREFORE WHICH BELIEVE HE IS PRECIOUS: BUT UNTO THEM WHICH BE DISOBEDIENT, THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDER DISALLOWED, THE SAME IS MADE THE HEAD OF THE CORNER,
AND A STONE OF STUMBLING, AND A ROCK OF OFFENCE, EVEN TO THEM WHICH STUMBLE AT THE WORD, BEING DISOBEDIENT: WHEREUNTO ALSO THEY ARE APPPOINTED.
BUT YE ARE A CHOSEN GENERATION, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, AN HOLY NATION, A PECULIAR PEOPLE; THAT SHOULD SHEW FORTH THE PRAISES OF HIM WHO HATH CALLED YOU OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS MARVELLOUS LIGHT:
We must walk worthy of the call wherein we were called. Sometimes we can have a standard, but we don’t always hold ourselves to the same standard when it comes to our expectations of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the chief cornerstone of our lives. He is the head. The Word states that He is the elect and He is precious. Do we treat Him as if He’s precious? Do we treat Him that way everyday or only when we want Him to do something for us? He said the true believers would not be confounded, meaning that they would not be confused. When your heart is in Him completely, you’re in unity with the Spirit of Truth. His will is precious. His plan is precious. His word is precious. You cherish His presence. Those who believe this will not stumble upon His word.
He chose us as a holy people unto Him that at one time was not a chosen people. Then He made us a royal priesthood unto Himself. This is a high calling! With high standards! To whom much is given, much is required. Not to everyone is it given to be royalty. This is a special class; A sanctified class. Therefore, the Lord Jesus clarifies this specification to say that many are called but few are chosen. Everyone cannot stand in the role of a priest, but it is given to those who are holy unto the Lord. We must put on our garments of righteousness and be a light, in the midst of darkness as the Lord has given us to be. We must show forth His praises. We must show that He is royalty and deserving of all the honor and praises. We must treat His Spirit as precious. He is coming back for His church, the Bride without spot or blemish. He’s coming soon and His reward is with Him. The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life.
