1 Peter 2:8–10 NKJV
and “A stone of stumbling And a rock of offense.” They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed. But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

Those Who Stumble Are Not Chosen!

1 Peter 2:8 NKJV
and “A stone of stumbling And a rock of offense.” They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.
Those Who Stumble Because of the Rock being disobedient to the Word are not chose
Those Who Stumble Were Destined to do so because they have chosen to be disobedient and not be chosen.

The Chosen Do Not Stumble!

genos means people of the same genetic stock!

The Chosen Are a Royal Priesthood!

Royal means we are priest of a SUPREME RULER!!!

The Chosen Are a Holy Nation!

A group of diverse people from different backgrounds and cultures that have been brought together to form a nation!

The Chosen Are HIS OWN SPECIAL PEOPLE!

GOD’S CHOSEN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO PROCLAIM HIS PRAISES!

Isaiah 43:20–21 NKJV
The beast of the field will honor Me, The jackals and the ostriches, Because I give waters in the wilderness And rivers in the desert, To give drink to My people, My chosen. This people I have formed for Myself; They shall declare My praise.

THE CHOSEN HAVE OBTAINED GOD’S SAVING MERCY!

1 Peter 2:10 NKJV
who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
Hosea 1:9–10 NKJV
Then God said: “Call his name Lo-Ammi, For you are not My people, And I will not be your God. “Yet the number of the children of Israel Shall be as the sand of the sea, Which cannot be measured or numbered. And it shall come to pass In the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ There it shall be said to them, You are sons of the living God.’
Gomer’s Children represented Israel who had disobeyed God and so God determined they were not his people because of their disobedience!
Hosea 2:23 NKJV
Then I will sow her for Myself in the earth, And I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; Then I will say to those who were not My people, ‘You are My people!’ And they shall say, ‘You are my God!’ ”
But then because of the God’s Mercy and love those same people would become God’s people!
When we say God is our God that means we are obedient.
