Devotional: 1 Peter 2:9-12

Today’s passage: 1 Peter 2:9-12

Helpful thoughts:

  • The world disobeys the word (Rejects the Gospel/Christ) and therefore is destined for destruction.  But Christians are a chosen people, set apart.
  • In verse 9-10, Peter brings us to thoughts of glory and marvelous light, then in verse 11-12, we come back down to earth.
    • We are a royal priesthood and a holy nation!
    • And, we are sojourners and exiles.
  • The world will speak of us as evil doers.  It says, “when”, not “if”.  But have no fear, the world is not our judge.

Questions to consider:

  1. Christians, what are we set apart for?  What is our purpose?
  2. Are the names given to us (A race, the priesthood, a nation, etc.) singular in nature or plural in nature?  How should this effect the way we view our involvement in the church?
  3. How does thinking vertically, and thinking forward (Our God-given identity, purpose, and future), help us to rightly view the world around us and our role in it?
