Summary
Peter identifies believers as a chosen race, royal priesthood, and holy nation called out of darkness into God's marvelous light. Because Christians are sojourners and exiles not belonging to this world, they must abstain from fleshly passions and maintain honorable conduct to glorify God.
Highlights
You have been chosen by God. It's really great news. If you've ever felt like nobody wants you, you realize it's more important to be chosen by God than by any other person?
Your temptations are not your friends. The sins that you struggle with, they are not your friends. It's a cobra waiting to devour your life.
Don't try to fit in. You don't fit in, so stop trying to fit in. This is not your home and you're not going to be here long.
