IF...
Exodus 19:5-6
“‘Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you shall be a special people to Me above all nations; for all the earth is Mine. You shall be to Me a royal priesthood and a holy nation.’ These are the words you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
Personal Challenge
There is a price to pay for being counted amongst the royal priesthood and a holy nation. That price is obedience. We do not become a part of this royal priesthood by obeying the commands of God. We enter into His family through the work of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is our salvation and there is nothing that we can do to earn that salvation. However, once we are grafted into His vine, His family, it is up to us to listen to His voice, keep His commands, and become like Him. Our journey through life as Christians is not about just enjoying His grace but is also about becoming like Him. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
