In this passage God has just saved the people of Israel from the Egyptians and is now bringing them to the Mount Sinai where he will invite them to become HIS TREASURE, before giving Moses the 10 Commandments.
As I have been diving into the word to learn about being SET APART for the LORD, this scripture caught my eye! Isn’t it amazing how God was expressing his desires to have his own people, chosen by him, to be his very own treasure and to become a Holy Nation upon the Earth? He was giving his people a promise of what was to come if they would obey his voice. Awesomely enough that INVITATION TO BE HIS Treasure STiLl exist TODAY for You, if you accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior! You become God’s adopted sons and daughters.
God rescued the Israelites then and he is still rescuing us today from the bondage of sin and slavery!
Here are some things you can LEARN from these few Scriptures:
- God LOVES you so much that he has invited you to be SET APART as HIS VERY OWN SPECIAL TREASURE, HIs OWN HOLY Priests of his HOLY KINGDOM!
- You become something NEW! No longer a Slave to sin and it’s dominion, but a Son or Daughter adopted by God the Father!
- You have a new IDENTITY in Christ Jesus! (holy and righteous)
- You are called a TREASURE, you have value!
- You are CALLED God’s Priests!
- You BECOME FREE to WORSHIP the one true LIVING Holy GOD and SERVE ONLY HIM in LOVE, through Christ’s Redemptive Blood!
- You are MARKED and sealed by God himself by they Holy Spirit . When we sees you, he sees Christ in you, he sees that you said Yes to his invitation of being selected to be his Child!
- You are known by HIM! Now that is something to shout Yippie Skippy to the Roof tops!
- You have the privilege to share with others the goodness, the Gospel! (What God did for you and what he will do for them!)
10. You become a family member to the BEST Family. Now you have brothers and sister in Christ to help encourage you and help you further God’s Kingdom on Earth!
The Bible says who ever shall call upon the Lord will be saved! Romans 10:13
That is a lot to shout about! If you feel a tug in your heart to become one of God’s very own, it is very simple! God made a way to be reconciled back to him through his perfect son Jesus! Jesus who lived a perfect life sanctified by God bore your sins upon himself on the Cross so that you would be washed clean of all your sin through the shed of his precious blood. He became a sacrifice for you because he loves you. He took your place so that you could be with him for eternity! All you have to do is believe that he is the Son of God. Confess you are a sinner who needs to be made new and washed clean of all the sins in your life. And ask the Lord to be the Lord and Savior of your life. Once you invite him in your heart, the Holy Spirit comes and indwells inside of you. You are now a new creation in Christ Jesus! The old has passed away and now you are new!
Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
