Deut. 14:2 - "'For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for His own possession out of all peoples who are on the face of the earth.'"
It just never gets old to me when I read "The Lord has chosen you!" Not only has He chosen us, but has chosen us out of all the people's on the earth. He saw something in you and in me that was different from any others. He saw the holiness that resides in us. A lot of people believe that holiness only belongs to God, God was specific through Moses, identifying His people as "holy" people. He put holiness, righteousness, purity in us; that is our make-up as He designed us. Most people can't see that in themselves, nor feel as though it is possible on this side of heaven to be "holy". Kingdom truth is opposite what the world tells us. The enemy tries to strip us of our identity as beloved and holy sons and daughters. his work causes people to think that they don't deserve a label of "holiness" as they engage in unholy activities,. But holiness is the stamp God put on us in who we "are", not in what we "do." The Holy Spirit's work in us, helps us strip away or peel back the unholy acts that we do so that the real holy us may be revealed. We are a holy people for whom God chose as His own.
