Promises to his people

1 Peter 2:9

     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:

John 15:14-16

            Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
            Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
             Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 

 

Romans 12:4-5

     For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
     So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

2 Peter 1:4

     Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
