A NEW NATION OF PRIESTS

February 7

A NEW NATION OF PRIESTS

When God told Abraham He would create a great nation from Abrahams lineage and that through him all nations of the world would be blessed, His intent was to redeem the whole world. Keeping His Word, God created a new nation from Abrahams descendant, Jesus of Nazareth, and his spiritual offspring who believe in Jesusthose who are of the faith of Abraham (Romans 4:16, emphasis added).
This new nation comprises both Israelites (Jews) and Gentiles (non-Jews) who have placed their faith in Christ. It is the single nation of Spirit-led people that was Gods original purpose: There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:28).
When the Lord Himself came to earth as God the Son, His intent was to create a new nation in which all would receive the Holy Spirit, through whom they could be His intermediaries for the world. In the Old Testament, Joel prophesied, And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. (Joel 2:28 29) In this new nation of believers, people are no longer separated and categorized. If anyonemale or female, young or oldrepents of sin and receives Christ, God fills that person with His Spirit and makes him His priest. As believers, you and I are priests before God. The Bible calls the priesthood aneternal ordinance. (See Numbers 18:8 NKJV.) It is forever!

Prayer: Father, thank You for pouring out Your Holy Spirit on Your people so that we may serve You and help reconcile the world to You. You have enabled us to serve You as priests forever! I thank you in Jesus precious name, amen.

Thought: God created a new nation of Spirit-filled intercessors.
