Send us a textWhat if salvation isn’t just a destination but a position you live from right now? We open Scripture to reframe a passive view of faith and reveal a threefold identity that reshapes how we pray, work, and love: chosen, royal, and holy. Drawing from 1 Peter 2:9–10 and Ephesians 2:4–10, we explore how God names our worth, grants access to His presence, and sends us with purpose grounded in grace.First, we talk about value. You are not plastic décor to be dusted; you are a living work tended by God. “You are a chosen people” means worth is conferred, not achieved. When you receive that, the anxious need to prove yourself begins to loosen, and stewardship takes its place. We walk through practical ways this identity reshapes decisions, habits, and boundaries so your life can actually bloom in season.Then we lean into royalty and priesthood. Royalty here is not status play—it is confidence under God’s authority. Priesthood is intercession and service. Together they form a posture that changes rooms: bold prayers, steady presence, and a willingness to stand in the gap for others. We connect this to everyday faith—workplaces, families, and neighbourhoods—showing how spiritual authority looks like blessing, listening, and faithful action.Finally, we consider holiness as nearness. Belonging to God means living present to His presence, bringing your voice to Him often and honestly. From Ephesians, we anchor all of this in grace: you are alive with Christ, seated with Him, and sent into the good works He prepared. No boasting, just gratitude-fuelled obedience. If you’re ready to trade a ticket-to-heaven mindset for a lived identity that bears fruit, this conversation will meet you where you are and call you forward.If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a reminder of their worth, and leave a review to help others find the message.Support the showSubscribe to the official Parklands Baptist Church Channel to stream our latest messages, your favourite sermons from over the years, and much more.
