A Chosen People

9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. ~ 1 Peter 2:9-10 (NIV)

A Sabbath Rest

So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, ~ Hebrews 4:9 (ESV)
