Positional Truths 13-15

Last week during class, (02/07/10), we covered the next three positional truths, (13, 14, and 15), as follows:

1. Made Nigh-This especially applies to Gentile Believers rather than Jewish Believers because, according to Ephesians 2:13, we have been brought near to the spiritual blessings of the Jewish Covenants. We are partakers, not taker-overs' according to Eph, 3:6.
2. Members of a Holy and Royal Priesthood-resulting in the priesthood of all Believers. To Jewish Believers, (1 Peter 2:5, 9), and to Gentile Believers, (Revelation 1:5-6, 5:9-10). Paul give us one application in Romans 12:1-2 because the presenting of a living sacrifice is a priestly act. Another application that we discussed is found in Philippeans 4:18 which speaks of funds given to Paul to support his ministry. 2 Timothy 4:6 and Hebrews 13:15-16 were also talked about.
3. A Chosen Generation: A Holy Nation: A Peculiar People-Going back to 1 Peter 2:9, we see this being true more of Jewish Believers rather than Gentile Believers because Peter specifically wrote to Jewish Believers. This can be applied by the doing of good works according to Titus 2:14.

Be blessed,
