1 Peter 2:9-10
“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a
people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him
who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people,
but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have
received mercy.”
Jesus instructed his disciples to “Go into all the world and proclaim the
gospel to the whole creation” [Mark 16:15] because through his
sacrifice, righteousness was made available to all people, which is why the
good news was preached to the Gentiles, thus fulfilling many Old Testament
prophesies like Isaiah 49:6 “I will also give You as a light to the
Gentiles, that You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.'”
The last 27 chapters of the book Isaiah are similar to the
27 books of the New Testament because they proclaim the hope of the New
Covenant, for which there are many fulfilled prophesies; how then can we, “A
chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his [God’s] own
possession” deny these prophesies were completed or that they were prophesies
as dispensationalism does?
Anyone who enters into the kingdom of heaven having shunned even
the smallest portion of the Bible and having taught others to do the same “will
be called [the] least,” so open your hearts and minds to the wisdom of
God while there is still time.
Matthew 5:19 “Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and
teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven,
but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of
heaven.”
NOTE: Question 75 was covered back in Question 25 so the 75 Bible Questions are now complete.
