1 | What is the Priesthood of Believers? | 1 Pet 2:9 | Lionstrong | 63099 | ||
1 Pet 2:9 But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 1 Pet 2:10 for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY. I'm weak on my chruch history, but wasn't the RCC opposed to the Protestants' view of the priesthood of all believers? And what is the priesthood of believers and what is some of the biblical data that supports this teaching? Peace, |

Priesthood of Belivers are the elect of God; according to Revelation 20:6 these priest will be in the first resurrection. Therefore,as a child of God we are the priesthood of believers. We have been sanctified by the blood of Jesus. Also, in 1 Peter 2:5, that priesthood of believers are mentioned who should offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. | ||||||
3 | What is the Priesthood of Believers? | 1 Pet 2:9 | Ray | 63180 | ||
Hi preacher7373, I appreciate your comments and the Scriptures you have offered. Welcome to the forum. Revelation 20:6 talks of "priests of God/ and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years." 1 Peter 2:9, "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's/ own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." God's priests are His own possession. We are people of His grace and mercy. The verses are wonderful companion verses. Thank you. As far as spiritual sacrifices I like to compare also Romans 12:1 and Hebrews 13:16. The comparison shows how our bodies presented to Him are not only acceptable but well-pleasing to Him. Also 1 Corinthians 6:17. We are one body of believers. 1 John 3:24, "And we know by this that He/ abides in us, by the *spirit which He has given us." 1 Corinthians 6:17, "But the one who joins himself to the Lord/ is one spirit [with Him]." I look forward to more interaction with you on the forum. From the heart, Ray |
