“God’s Holy Nation”
Monday, August 12, 2024Key Verse
“And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation” (Exodus 19:6).
Text — Exodus 19:3-6
Message
The word ‘Holy’ is an important word which means to be separated or set apart for a specific purpose. Holiness is God’s nature. A nation, on the other hand, is made up of different generations including Gen-Z which you belong to. God demands that every man including youths should be like him. “…Be ye holy for I am holy” (1Peter 1:16).
In every generation, God desires fellowship of man that can only be maintained by holy living which has been exemplified by the patriarchs of old like Enoch, Noah, Abraham, and Joseph. Moses had fellowship with God because he was found holy. For the Jews, God required that they obey His voice (word) and keep His covenant so that He would fulfill His promise of making them a holy nation. Likewise, the promise in 1 Peter 2:19 “…ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people…” can only be given if you heed His call through genuine salvation, separation unto God and maintaining a holy life (Luke 1:75). Today is World Youth Day! Stay peculiar. Be joyful!
