Promise 46 from Exodus 19:5-6

Ex. 19:5-6 - "'Now then, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be My own possession among all peoples, for all the earth is Mine; and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words you shall speak to the sons of Israel.'" - God sets us apart for His very own. Verse 5 literally says, "You shall be My special treasure." Imagine that! The creator God who owns all the earth calls us His special treasure. For those who obey His voice, who know Him personally and loves Him, they will become kingdom priests and a holy nation. It's hard to imagine, in the context of our world, what a "holy" nation would look like. but God promises His people holiness. He promises to set them high as priests. These verses are not commands like, "you shall be holy! You shall act like priests!" These are gifts to us because He deems us precious in His sight. We are His treasure, not His pawns. We should not be obedient to His voice as pawns, out of duty, but out of love and desire, because He chose us out of His love for us. You are precious, you are a treasure, you are holy and a royal priest set apart to minister to Him out of love.
