Royal Priesthood 

I am worthy to be called an ambassador for Christ, and not just an ambassador, but also a royal priesthood. I stand alongside my fellow believers, and God smiles because He sees a holy display of His people. We are ambassadors of His good news, but we are taken care of like royalty. I have always wanted to be royalty! He esteems us with the utmost honor and blessing. Together, we shine God’s light so that others may see us and know we are God’s royal priesthood.

LISTEN

I call you this because of the glory awaiting you in Heaven. Your purpose does not end with death, my chosen ones. Altogether, you stand as a holy people for my name. I won the battle for you, and the victory is mine. I will welcome you into the Kingdom of Heaven with a victorious song. I am confident in calling you royalty because your home is in the Kingdom with Your King and Father!

READ

2 Corinthians 5:20 ESV: “Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.”

1 Peter 2:9 ESV: “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.”

2 Corinthians 2:14-17: “But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things? For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God's word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.”

REFLECT

Reflect on Earthly royalty.

How is Kingdom royalty different?

How can we better be priesthood for Christ?

Do you expect to be welcomed into Heaven?

What are you in Christ?  Royal Priesthood
