Throughout the scriptures we see God desiring to have a relationship with mankind and dwell with them. It may be hard for us to fathom that God wants to be our God and have us as his people. God’s people in the Old Testament did a terrible job fulfilling what God desired and we read of their destruction. But we also read about a new people that God would create. Books like Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Zechariah all point to this new people becoming what God always had in mind from the beginning. I would like for us to begin this series by looking at two passages that show a contrast between God’s people in the OT and God’s people in the NT.
Isaiah 29:13–14 (ESV) — 13 And the Lord said: “Because this people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men, 14 therefore, behold, I will again do wonderful things with this people, with wonder upon wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hidden.”
Ezekiel 36:25–27 (ESV) — 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. 26 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.
In the texts we will study this week my goal is to see how the NT writers say that we are this renewed people with a new heart. Tonight we find that Peter describes us as God’s people in 1 Peter 2.
1 Peter 2:9–10 (ESV) — 9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
