"The Holy People"

Deuteronomy 7:1-11 

Being elect is truly a privilege. For example, being a favorite student, favorite employee, or favorite child. The Bible states that believers are elect. What does it mean to be God's elect?

The Israelites were chosen by God not because of their existence (7), but because God Himself remembered His covenant (8-9). It is God Himself who will bring His people to enter the promised land and dispel more and stronger nations (1). God had chosen the Israelites as His people.

The nation of Israel was chosen to be a holy people. The word "holy" means the separation of the people from the world for God. Being separated does not indicate that the people become an exclusive group. However, the lives of God's people no longer follow the way of life of nations that do not know God.

For this reason, God's people must maintain the purity of their faith. Therefore, God's people must crush nations that do not know God and do not marry into foreign nations (1-3). They must also remove all the centers of worship of those nations (5). Thus, God's people will live in constant worship of God and not be tainted.

Today, believers are chosen and saved to become a holy people in the midst of this world. Today we are no longer crushing nations like God's people in the Old Testament, but in principle we should maintain the purity of faith and not follow this world. We are not an exclusive people who do not want to be involved in society, but rather engage in society by showing a different life, which is to live holy and not to follow the ways of a world tainted by sin.

As people who are called to live a holy life, we must always maintain the sanctity of life through our daily attitudes, words, and deeds. Remember, we are a holy people!

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
