    From "Not My People" to God's Own: Chosen by Mercy, Not Merit

    From "Not My People" to God's Own: Chosen by Mercy, Not Merit 5FS-1300 - Tuesday 5-Minute Fresh Start November 3, 2026  In 1 Peter 2:9–10, Peter takes the titles God spoke to Israel at Mount Sinai in Exodus 19 and gives them to scattered believers, many of them Gentiles who once stood outside the covenant. He calls them a chosen genos, a new race and bloodline in Christ that outranks nationality, ethnicity, and political party, and a royal priesthood with direct access to God, the same access that brought leprosy on King Uzziah when he tried to take it for himself. "Special people" translates peripoiēsis, God's acquired possession, so the old phrase "peculiar people" doesn't mean weird but owned, purchased with the precious blood of Christ. This identity comes with a job, exangellō, to herald God's praises out loud, and it rests on mercy rather than merit, because we were once Hosea's "Not My People" until God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4–5).
