In ministering to the early Christians, Peter quotes the prophet Isaiah a number of times to help them understand the importance of who they are in Christ. He says we are a royal priesthood. Most modern Christians today do not comprehend, appreciate, or understand the power they possess, their identity in Christ, and their importance as a royal priesthood. In this message, Pastor Troy Billow emphasizes that we are chosen by God to be His people, the fact that we belong to Him, and that we are his treasured possession. If the magnitude of this truth was properly understood and absorbed in the heart, it would change the way every believer today believes, behaves, and it would serve as a strong motivation to overcome the many challenges that bring so many believers down in their faith because of this lack of understanding.
