Bible Reading: 1 Peter 2:9-11
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light” (1 Peter 2:9).
According to Ellen G. White, “God's people are peculiar. Their spirit cannot mingle with the spirit and influence of the world. You do not wish to bear the Christian name and yet be unworthy of it”. Christians are peculiar people because they are saved by God for them to show forth His glory. Those who are born again, like Joseph in Egypt who faced the challenge of defiling himself with his master’s wife would not yield to the temptation of sinning against God. “How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?” said Joseph when his master’s wife wanted to defile him. You should endeavour to abstain from all forms of lust to retain your peculiarity as a child in the kingdom of God.
Remember the devil is still enticing people with the aim of trapping their souls in eternal doom. Like the peculiar Joseph, flee objects of temptation. Do not allow sinful emotions to rule and ruin you. Remember that you are a royal priest, a chosen and a peculiar person!
